Postpartum query - period pains at almost 7wks PP (EBF)?

[bicyclebuiltforfour]

Realise this is pregnancy, but wanted the greater traffic :)

DS is 7wks tomorrow. He's EBF and feeds at least every two hours, day and night [yawn]

For the last few days I've been having stomach cramps (like a period) and today I've developed that horrid period backache. My lochia stopped at 3wks and hasn't come back.

With my older child I had to totally wean to get my cycles back (ie not be producing a single drop of milk): surely I can't be getting them back so soon with this baby? If not, are these just extended afterpains??

Any advice?

Hmm, difficult to say - I guess you'll only know for sure if it's a period if a period arrives.

Perhaps it's worth visiting the GP to rule out stuff like endometritis or a urinary infection?

Hope you feel better soon.
