Hi, my baby is 8 weeks old and I haven't had a period yet, Not that I'm complaining! Smile
I understand everyone is different, but when did you get your first period after birth?
I'm not breast feeding.

Ds is 10 weeks old and still no period here either. I'm swinging between being pleased and irrationality worried that it means there's a problem!

I can't remember exactly but it was a few weeks, maybe 2 months and the first one was a BLOODBATH - be warned!

It was 6 weeks exactly for me and I breastfed. And yes the first period is like a Quentin Tarantino movie. I was convinced I was going to have no colour in my cheeks after it finishedHmm

I got mine 4 weeks pp! Awful to have to deal with that too. I was breastfeeding and it always affected my milk - it would dry up a bit around ovulation and my period

1 year but was breastfeeding. First one wasn't too bad but I did have to take some ibuprofen for pains one day.
