I posted this on the family planning forum bit didn't get a response so wondered if this might be a better place for it.
I had dd by c-section and she was exclusively bf until weaning. I still bf her 4/5 times a day and haven't had a period yet.
Anyway today I suddenly started feeling very sick just before lunch and by the time I had driven home I was shaking like a leaf, pins and needles up to my elbows, having period-pain type cramps, feeling faint and wretching like I was going to puke. Also woke up with very achy shoulders and neck and thought I had just slept strangely but now my limbs are very achy too.
Before I had dd I was on the pill since age 15 for terrible period pains (similar symptoms as today) which I had hoped would disappear post birth.
At first I thought I was maybe pregnant as I have been very mucusy down there the last three days (sorry too much info!) But I wonder if it's actually my periods about to restart or just flu or something?
Has anyone else had extreme period pains post birth? Not sure whether to bother with a pg test...
Sorry for long post- thanks for reading!
