I am also feeling very moody lately, i keep feeling sick at various parts of the day for the last two weeks and since lunch time I have had pains that feel like period pains.

Could my periods be starting already? I did not get them until i stopped breastfeeding my last dd. Dd2 is on 6-7 feeds in 24 hours and does have two small meals a day. I thought your periods just come back after you stop or when you reduce the feeds.

I really hope I am not getting them, with dd keeping my up in the night all i need is periods!!!

My af came 5 weeks after delivery with ds2 and dd1(i was exclusivly bf) and dd2 is 13 weeks now and i got my period on Monday this week.

Bummer eh? I thought i was gonna be really lucky this time and not see af for months and months

You may not be tho,fingers crossed for you.

Could return of periods also cause feelings of sickness?

have you done a pregnancy test? you dont need to have AF first to get pg as an Af is the end of a cycle not the beginning.

FWIW I am still Bf a 10 mo baby about 6 times a day and often feel sick and get cramps. No AF yet either ( hurrah!) I know I'm not pg thsi time but i was when teh last baby was 10mo!

How are you getting on with teh expressing?

Hello

Expressing - I cant beleive how rubbish I am this time with dd1 I could get 8ozs in 10 mins. This time its more like 2 ozs in 10 mins!!!

I still have cramps today - they feel different to hunger pains. I always have them Since dd1 my appetite increased and luckily so did my metabolism. I reckon breastfeeding helped.
