Where's my period?!

My baby is 11 weeks old and I've yet to get my period. I'm getting obsessed with taking pregnancy tests incase we've had an accident (99.9% sure we haven't)
After baby 1, I think it was about 4 weeks postpartum when I got my first period. Where is aunty flo??

Are you breastfeeding? That can delay it

As above. I breastfed my babies and didn't get periods until 16 months and 14 months post partum.

Hmm. That's the only idea I had sorry. It possibly still could be due to hormones and your body recovering from pregnancy and birth.
