3 months post partum and exclusively breastfeeding, no period yet

Lady Flo made her dreaded and unwelcome appearance 5 weeks pp as well. BOTH TIMES! I never get a break and I breastfed both times! I read that it has to do with how much you nurse at night and I did do shifts with my Mom in the early days so I always figured it was because I nursed and pumped every other feed. But I usually pumped even if I didn’t nurse and vice versa. 🤷🏾‍♀️

5 weeks was mine

I was 5.5/6 weeks when she came back for me and day 2 was awful 😣

Sex after c section

Ever since my c section in May we haven’t Bern able to have sex. Not because we don’t want to … we literally can’t. He can’t get it in like something is in the way. Went to GP and they said nothing is wrong just keep trying. It’s sore and literally can’t get it. Anyone else? What do I do?

Induction

I have an induction booked for 40+3 if I don’t go into natural labour before then. They are asking whether I would prefer a medical or mechanical induction? Has anyone experienced either? If so, how was it? Would you have preferred a different option?

growth scans / 28+2

Hi i’ve seen a few posts about growth scans & people saying how much their babies weigh but i have no idea how much mines weigh, will i have a growth scan at some point or is this only for higher risk pregnancies?

FTM c-section booked

Hey, I’m due to have my baby via c-section next week and I’m terrified! I’ll be 37+4 (have to have a section due to being high risk). I’ve never had an operation in my life. If anyone has any positive stories to share about the day, the recovery, etc, I’m all ears 🙏 I feel like I’m desperately trying to avoid hearing the bad experiences

Is this my period coming?

I am not sure if this is my period coming or something else? I have had this spotting the day before yesterday and then again today but no active bleeding. I am almost 7 weeks postpartum now and my bleeding stopped at week 5. Any ideas??

Period after c section

When did you get your period after your c section?
After my first i got it exactly on my daughter's first birthday, i was breastfeeding.
This time around i had an emergency c section at 30+5, im exclusively pumping, not sure if it was a period but i had period like bleeding for 4 days at 8 weeks. The spotting 2 weeks after and now im 12 weeks pp and spotting again, is it my cycle coming back or should i get checked?
(I'm cycle day 23 today counting from the first period )
