Late periods

5 replies

princesseggo · 25/09/2017 09:02

I'm 7 months postpartum and got my first period when DD was around 3 months old.
Since then my period has been around 12-17 days late every time.
I use an app to track my periods and that goes by a 28 day cycle so by the time I actually get my period my cycle ends up being around 46 days.
Periods are quite heavy and I also have excessive sweating (not sure if it's a postpartum thing or is related).

Not sure if this is TMI but I just wanted to see if anyone has experienced anything similar or if this is just normal after having a baby.

Any replies would be appreciated!

Forgot to say I do a pg test every time I'm 'late' and there's no chance I could be pregnant.

I bled heavily after having my 4th child but that was a traumatic birth I had. What was the birth of your dd like did you tear etc?

I was induced at 42 weeks and ended up having a csection under general anaesthetic

Was she big inside you?
When they helped me give birth also at 42 weeks she commented on how big it was in my womb. He 10lbs for me that was huge. It could be the size of your womb but I am only guessing.
