hi hun when did you stop bleeding after the birth? i think its about 4-8 weeks after you stop bleeding but im not sure. if you havent had a period by your 8 week check i would mention it to your doc and maybe they will have more advice.

My friend didn't get hers for nine months after her first son was born (apart from the post labour bleeding). She was breastfeeding on demand and thought that that had something to do with it.

Evie is 6months and I still haven't had one, that means including pregnancy I haven't had a period for 15months ......heaven!!!

- I am breastfeeding on demand and I know that makes a difference.

My MW said I won't get a period until I stop breastfeeding George Although I'm not complaining. I'd be happy never to have another period again!

I was just about to post about periods. I am quite sure I had one about 10 days after having Seb. I bled for 1 week after giving birth, 4 days later I started bleeding again, I had crampy period pains, bled for 3 days and nothing since.
My question is....has anyones periods gone back to normal after having their first period after birth, and did anyone have a period so soon after birth??? If it was my period then it has been 5 weeks since. not sure how long I should wait for my next period
Any ideas anyone?

Everyones body is different so could get periods at any time & breastfeeding makes a difference too. I bled for 6 weeks then had a period at 8 weeks, they went back to normal straight away.

i only managed to feed for 3 days as i didnt have any milk, and no support form my mw.. anyway.. i blead for about4-5 weeks and had my period about a week after thet and periods returned to normal after that..would be bliss if i can breast feed and have no periods this time!!whoohoww

 

[Redshoes]

Hmmm, I'm a bit confused.

We were planning to try for a second baby as soon as our first one is born - we want them to have more or less the same age. I want to breastfeed as well though. Does that mean that for the duration of me breastfeeding my first we won't be able to try for a second baby?
