first period after childbirth???...

[Ilovemyboy]

I have been feeling sluggish for a couple of weeks and started to bleed (sorry if that sounds yuk) a little bit yesterday afternoon and it has stopped for good now.

I thought that that the first period after childbirth is supposed to be really heavy???

I'm surprised I have bled at all as I excl bf DS (6.5mths) until a couple of weeks ago, he is BLW so is still have loads of milk and is fed at least twice through the night.

Hello,

I stopped bf about 2 months ago and have just got my first period since birth however, about a week after stopping I had a very slight bleed like the start of af for 4 days and then about a month later I had the same thing and now I've had a full blown af which was a bit heavier than normal for the first couple of days but nothing extraordinary.
I felt very sluggish a few days before af arrived.
I read that a slight bleed usually indicates that your hormones/fertility are returning, also I think as you start to wean and drop feeds its common for af to return. I hope this helps
