Bleeding 3 months after

[Cati]

Hello! I’m just wondering if this is normal...
Today I’ve had a few streaks of blood in my usual discharge. The usual post baby bleeding stopped after 6 weeks or so and had nothing after that until today
I don’t think it’s a period because I don’t have the cramps I usually get
Has anyone else had this?

Are you breastfeeding?

 

[Cati]

yep

It’s maybe a little breakthrough bleeding? As you know af can take a while to come back when BFing so likely this, like it’s trying to come! I had this but was much earlier on than you though. Are you up to date on your smears? Just keep an eye on it and see your gp if it is worrying you x

Could be that you’re ovulating? Breastfeeding won’t stop your cycle 100%

I might have had a smear test, I’m not entirely sure.
is it routinely offered after pregnancy?

if you're due a smear you'll be offered one but not because of the pregnancy if that make sense. I was due oneJune 2015 but gave birth in May 2015 so i had to wait until Sept as they like to make sure there's no after effects of pregnancy that could alter the result.

it sounds like break through bleeding and maybe you'll start your periods again soon. I was gutted that mine came back at month 4 even though I was ebf
