when did yr periods return after childbirth??

[autumnlover]

only had baby six weeks ago and am breastfeeding and it seems mine have returned!!

spoke to health visitor and they said it was normal. is it really?? i was hoping for a little more time off ...

unfortunately that happened to me too - very annoying indeed, had the mirena coil fitted 5 weeks after last dd and I still bleed - argh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Make sure you get your contraceptives sorted asap!

After dd1 9 months
After dd2, nearly 2 years
both bf

i had post partum bleeding for the full 6 weeks, a two week break then they started up again. i was totally ff by week 4, so i guess i got off lightly! seems very unfair to get them back when you are still bf

5months, just as started to drop a couple of night feeds.

Mine started at 6 weeks all 3 times and I breastfed fully. It's a pain isn't it?

8 mths for me

i don't rememeber after ds1 but after ds2 i bled for 6 weeks then had 4 days off then AF came back.. he was fully bf every 2 hours

any one know WHY WHY auntie flo returns so early?!?!?! yeah i'm pissed off but its reassuring to know i'm not the only one.

am thinking about having the mirena coil put in once its finished.

Mine didn't come back at all between DS & DD (2 years & 6 wks apart, I fed DS to 14 months) - after DD didn't come back for about 10 months - but the week it came DD totally lost interest in bf - I've always wondered if there was a connection or if it was just coincidence.
