Period... again?

[Piglet's Mama]

I had my first period after having Brooke 20 days ago.

I think I was ovulating earlier this week, Sunday/Monday as I had lots of EWCM although I can't be certain, I just noticed it, so I was expecting to come on this time next week. But this morning I'm bleeding a little bit. It looks like it could be my period but it's such a short period of time between my last cycle. Before I had Brooke I had period that lasted 50-60 days...!

What do you guys think? x

Just before my period i had like spotting for 2 days and then it stopped then 3 days later my period came in full flow!

are you using any contraception that could play with your cycles?

No hun, nothing. I've only had sex once since Brooke was born, as I bled for a month, then got my period so it was all a bit full on. There's been no more blood since this morning... so weird! x

Ladies, I've been really heavily bleeding since yesterday. Everytime I move I can feel blood gushing out of me, tmi - sorry! I filled 5 maxi towels yesterday which has never ever happened.

I'm worried if this level of blood loss is normal? help! X

Hi-I bled v heavily on my 1st period after having Kieron-I've had 4 babies and only bled heavy with the youngest. It only lasted 2 days before becoming lighter. Try not to worry but if it lasts more than 3 days or u become dizzy etc then see ur gp. Xxx

Hi PMama - i've just posted a similar thread. The same thing has happened to me. I had postpartum bleeding for two weeks, then bled at 4 weeks and now i'm 7 weeks (since birth) and its started again and i've got bad period pains this time. I'm breastfeeding so i'm worried it will effect that. Are you BF Piglet's Mama?
