First period after birth

[ThreeAfter30]

So im now 8 weeks postnatal and still havent had a period. Im not breastfeeding so definately expected one before now.
Anyone elses took this long?

I EFF and mine didn't come back for 14 weeks!

@myotherbagisgucci wow that seems a really long time! I really shouldnt complain cause once it arrives no doubt ill be wishing it would go away again lol

Make the most of it whilst you can, as I can honestly say I've definitely not missed them! 😅

I formula fed from 4 weeks and I didn't get mines until 4 months pp.

Periods were quite heavy before i got pregnant with my third so im hoping they havent got worse. Waiting patiently on it arriving so i can start my pill. Knowing my luck itll come the day im due to go for my smear

My periods were are lighter than before I had DD and a lot less painful! Although my now pregnant with my second, so I'm definitely not missing them either way! Lol

Awww @myotherbagisgucci congratulations! When are you due?

Not until March 2019! Xx

I mixed fed and it took 16 MONTHS with my first. 10 months and waiting now. I don’t miss them while they’re away!

I FF from a month and had my first period at almost four months PP.

7 weeks PP today and woke up to a familiar ache this morning 🙄

It'll come enjoy not having one while you can!

@myotherbagisgucci hope the pregnancy goes well for you. How old is your other child? Ive a 5 year gap between all of mine. My sons 10, eldest daughter is 5 and my baby girl is 8 weeks. Im a wee bit sad that shes my last. I loved&hated being pregnant in equal measures lol i found going from 1 to 2 so easy but 2 to 3 is much harder though ive much more help this time around. I think its cause im in my 30s now lol

@Annalogy congrats on your newborn

Seems like 8 weeks really isnt that long at all. Ill enjoy it while it lasts then lol

Thank you OP ☺️ my DD is 6 months old. We've always wanted two close together but we didn't expect to fall pregnant on our first try as it took 7 years for me to have DD. This will definitely be our last as infertility and pregnancy have consumed our lives for a long time, so after baby 2, we're done!

@myotherbagisgucci how bloody amazing is that! Im sure itll be hard work but so worth it! Theres 4.5 years between me and my eldest brother,i always wouldve loved one closer in age. Im sure your 2 will be so close
It mst have been a very stressful 7 years for you both, so glad it worked out for you. Myself and my sons daddy went through some fertility treatment after he was born after trying for 18mths with nothing happening,but it just wasnt meant to be&we eventually broke up, but we both went on to have more kids with other partners.
Its a tough journey, massive congrats to you both xx
