Nursing mom and sometime pump (tmi)

Soo today I am 8 weeks and 1 day postpartum and experienced some light brown discharge and now little blood. I’m not sure if it’s my menstrual coming back or something else since I’ve been nursing since birth. I did just have intercourse 2 days again ifr the first time & then yesterday I wore a waist trainer that was a little tight for the first time since birth of baby. Soo now I’m not sure if the intercourse or waist trainer caused the light spotting today or if it’s my mental coming in. Also my baby slept for 5 hours day before yesterday and last night without nursing for the first time ever and I didn’t pump either soo I’m not sure if that caused anything either. I swore you didn’t get your menstrual if you were nursing I guess I might be wrong if soo , I wasn’t expecting it soo soon 😩 Has anyone experienced this or know anything ????

Also I spotted heavy bleeding a few weeks ago , soo I figured I was done with postpartum bleeding until now. And I’m currently having mild cramping as well. 😩🤦‍♀️

It could be your period. I got mine back 8 weeks postpartum even though I exclusively breastfed. The long sleep could have triggered your period to start back up. My daughter slept pretty well and my OB said that’s probably why my period came back early.

Is this normal?

Is this little red bit on my section scar normal? It’s not oozing anything, doesn’t hurt but it’s the only bit on my scar like it so just curious! (19 days PP)
Thank you in advance! 🥰

Anyone else felt like this?

Hi, I’m 4 months postpartum, little one sleeps through the night and is formula fed, the last week I’ve felt extremely tired and very hungry! Just wondered if anyone else has felt this way/experienced this?

Pregnant with baby 2

Hi everyone! I gave birth via emergency c section 9 months ago as my baby boy was measuring big, he pooped inside so there was risk of him inhaling it and I wasn’t progressing past 3cm to have a natural birth and now I’m currently 20 weeks pregnant with my 2nd baby. I’m having a consultation on Tuesday to talk about birth options and to have any questions answered but I don’t know what to ask. I feel like it would be safer having a c section again but at the same time I don’t want a c section. Does anyone have any question ideas I could ask or any advice/stories of similar situations. Tia

Hey what are your current symptoms?

I’m 37+5

I’m pretty mobile still but anything over a hour or 2 and I’m in discomfort

Getting up from a sitting position is hard

Some of baby’s movements now are bordering on painful especially around my crotch/pelvis

I’m exhausted very easily and nap every single day

Can basically only breathe out my mouth now and I’m snoring and dribbling 😂

Standing in one leg is very painful 😂

Some waves of pain/ tightening but I regular and mild

Low period type aches

And I feel like a fire breathing dragon with this acid reflux

My nose is growing 😂

My fingers swell slightly and go numbs in my sleep so that and constant toilet breaks keep me up ( checked swelling with MW and consultant and all normal, not a worry)


I also do not want to be social in person like I’d rather everyone just be my penpal atm lol


What are your symptoms?
