First period after pregnancy?

Hi guys! Quick question, when did you get your first period post partum?
Everything online says if you’re not breastfeeding you can expect your period after 5/6 weeks, I’m 10 weeks pp and no sign of my period 🫠

I’m exclusively breast feeding, first sight og any type
Of blood was very minimal blood on wiping for only 2 days at 5.5 months post partum ,
Every woman and their body is different and there’s no way to predict period back apart from if you’re without birth control to watch your vaginal discharge changes for ovulation.

no, she actually never slept through the night until about 13/14 months old.. it was rough. No matter what I did, she didn't sleep.

I was EBF until 12 months and didn’t get my period until 16 months!

My question is , how do we know when it’s a period 😂? I’m still bleeding/sporting from my c section (3 weeks pp) ? When will I know the difference ?

Avatar

I stopped bleeding at just under 5weeks post partum and the last 2 weeks was very light, I’m expecting my first period to be quite heavy 🥹

Avatar

ahh ok thank you! Yeah I have seen to have gone light now , last week went abit heavy but it seems to be slowing down , I’m guessing il stop bleeding and then if I bleed in a few weeks then that’s a period ? 😂I have zero idea

Avatar

that’s what I’m thinking is going to happen anyway haha, I went back on the pill last week so I don’t know if that’s affecting it at all either aha

Avatar

yeah mine didn't sttn till 21months. It was rough and she nursed at night till then too

Help! First time mum -

I have a 4 month old and now all of a sudden when he’s been asleep for 1hr30/2hrs he will wake up screaming (high pitched) I’ve tried winding him sometimes that helps, I’ve tried bicycle legs & bringing his knees up but that doesn’t seem to help but he brings his knees up himself sometimes but nothing happens. I’ve noticed since the 4 month mark he has started to struggle passing wind downwards! Any tips?

Bath Time

Help! My baby is 3 and a half weeks old. Every bath she goes in quite happy but will only stay like this for a very few mins, if I try to clean her or move her we have tears and after a few mins the same. It's like she is scared. Our current baby bath is quite big should I try a different one? Looking for any suggestions as want her to enjoy bath time not be upset and I'm scared I'm going to make her hate it😢💗

Big nursing bras!

I’m looking for recommendations for good nursing bras for bigger breasted ladies!

I’m currently in a 38H which seems to be the biggest size done at M&S (UK based mama here) and it’s snug and not as supportive as I’d like. When I look online, they mainly seem to be sized S, M, L, XL etc rather than bra sizes.

Any recommendations please?

Crying during feeding

Hey mams! My girl is 6 weeks on Monday and is having so much trouble with feeding. It doesn’t happen every feed but more often than not she will start a bottle and just start crying as if she’s in pain and she can’t take the milk. I think it’s trapped wind but I genuinely don’t know what to do it’s so pitiful to see her not be able to feed! She’s formula fed and on HiPP Organic.
Anyone else been in this position? I’m pretty sure it’s just a bit of trapped wind that she needs to fart out but can’t! If anyone has any advice I’d be very grateful as I think I may need to tape my eyelids open soon 😂
