Are you breastfeeding?

If you’re breastfeeding it can delay your period. I’m 10 1/2 months pp and I haven’t had my period yet

took me 6 weeks :)

I had my C-section on Sept. 27 and my period hasn’t come back yet

Had a c section on the 21st of January, exclusively BF and got my period 7 weeks PP. But my friend who gave birth in 2023 in the same boat didn't get hers until almost a year later. So really varies!

My first period started when my babyboy was 9 weeks and 2 days x

I’m combi feeding but it’s mainly formula. She’ll have my breast once or twice during the day but the rest is formula bottles x

I had my little girl 12th January by emergency c section and I'm Formula feeding. I haven't had mine yet either

Can be a month or two. Breastfeeding can delay it. If you exclusively breastfeed it can take up to 6 months. Just be prepared the first period is very heavy.
Oh and your little one is beautiful 😊

I'm combi feeding and mine came back at 19 weeks PP. I was fortunate enough that it wasn't super heavy or painful x

Takes longer if you’re breastfeeding. I didn’t get my first one til 3.5 months post partum x

Confused Over Test Result

My heads pretty blagged about this atm. I’ve had spotting & some cramping but of the 2 tests I’d have expected the clear blue one to be most accurate. Any advice?

Boy or girl?

I’ve just discovered the nub theory and this is my 4th baby. Anyone take a guess?

SPPH (secondary postpartum haemorrhage) due to retained placenta -D&C?

Looking to see if anyone else has experienced this? Currently trying to pass retained tissue ( 4 weeks pp) and finding every day so exhausting just constantly waiting and checking my bleeding. I stopped bleeding on week 2.5/3 then bleeding picked up last Saturday and I haemorrhaged on Thursday morning with a rush to hospital. Everyday since I’m waking up scared I’ll be bleeding out. Worried to go toilet to check, I’m not convinced I’ll be passing it naturally and I’m worried I’ll need a D&C… has anyone had this? My retained tissue is 2cm so they said it’s small but I have no signs of passing it or blood changing colour to show slowing down.

39 weeks pregnant FTM

39 weeks baby hasn’t come yet and I am just full of anxiety. I am trying to relax. I am trying to chill, but I can’t chill. I do not want to be induced. I would love to have her natural. Issue is I am tight down there and petite and baby is measuring big like the head especially. I know that measurements can be off. But I have photos! And she is a chunk. This is so unpredictable. How do I just put my faith forward and trust in God and how do I let go of this anxiety? I am doing fine and then boom it hits me and I want to ball my eyes out. I am trying to treat myself and do little things but driving or doing anything is so hard now and I’m so huge and uncomfortable …I’m at my breaking point 😭

Palpitations and out of breath

Anyone else dealing with heart palpitations and running out of breath super quickly?

I already spoke to my midwife, and they put me on magnesium and extra electrolytes and said if it doesn’t help, to tell them again. I have my next OB appointment on Tuesday and I plan on bringing it back up when I see her then, but I feel like my shortness of breath has just gotten increasingly worse and the dizziness is now off and on when I used to not get it before.

Anyone else has that experience?

I am 30 weeks on Wednesday (March 25) with a C-section scheduled for end of May.
