Periods returning - same after each pregnancy?

My periods returned after 8 weeks (!!!) with dd1 and I'm wondering whether to expect similar this time round. Both dds have been ebf, but I am cosleeping with dd2, and she uses me for comfort more, which is perhaps why they haven't returned yet (14 weeks).

D'oh! Meant to ask - when did yours return each time?

About 4 months after each of my pregnancies (3)

curiousgeorgie · 30/11/2013 01:29

2 months after DD1...

4 months after DD2.

8 weeks and 10 weeks. Ebf both for over a year! Was not impressed!

I think it's different for everytime
Ds1 first period 7 weeks
Ds2 hes 4 months and still no sign!

Pregnancies and childbirth are different everytime so I think it's safe to say it's unpredictable

Ah I see. Seems like I ?on't get the year's grace that all my friends got then!

Nearly a year, when I dropped down to just first thing in the morning and last thing at night and no night feeds. We did co-sleep though.

8 months and then 6 months. Both EBF and both waking a million times in the night at that age.

6 months both times I had assumed.it was because I bf dd1 for 6 months but I only bf dd2 for 3 and it was the same

squidkid · 02/12/2013 18:22

1 year here, on three feeds by that point (one at night)

3 weeks. Awful!

like you ebf,

3 months dc1, spotting and spots so far at 3 and 4 months with dc2 . . . .

Hi ladies. Advice needed please. I've just had my period 15 weeks after birth of dd2. It lasted 5-6 days, stopped for a few days and now I'm spotting again. Is this normal?

(In my irrational state I'm now getting concerned there are other gynaecological issues at play).
