Warning, dickhead alert....

[Myhooversucks]

So ladies.
You don’t need to say anything!! I know how stupid this will sound 🙈
My son is 14 weeks this Wednesday and this morning I woke up so nauseous I was very nearly sick a few times (I’m never sick) it passed by mid morning, I then went to the toilet and wiped what looked like an implant bleed, nothing since.
I’m EBF apart from a couple of weeks ago where I subbed a few feeds for a couple of days.
Anyone else ever been in this position. Is it normal to spot during breastfeeding?
I can’t get out to get a test today so sat on the sofa feeding my newborn worrying slightly 🤦‍♀️
Xxx

I did spot but it was later on, when he was on solids so feeding less. Other unlucky people get periods as normal all through breastfeeding. I also know a couple of people who got pregnant whilst breastfeeding, one at about the same gap as you. Can you ask someone to pick up a test for you? x

My other children my period came back around 6 months, I personally never spotted but thought it may be normal still.
I could ask my partner but not sure how to drop that in a casual text 😂
On a serious note! Holy shit that’s like a 12 month age gap! I know it’s possible but it’s got to be rare and very unlikely, right?
I wonder if pregnancy symptoms are different if you’ve just given birth! Xx

If you Amazon prime a pregnancy test you could have it by tomorrow.
Ps I love the title of this thread. Good luck xx

I cancelled Amazon Prime last month. 😩
Any help in wording a text message to my partner? I don’t even have any friends I can blame it on as I’ve moved counties.

I could just be your periods returning. Have you been taking any precautions?

Pull out 😬

Oh dear, there's definitely a chance you could be pregnant then! I'd be texting partner to get one, doubt there's any way to word it that won't freak him out... Good luck!

Hi op could your partner pop out and get a test ?

Yeah there’s definitely a chance you could be pregnant if you’re using pull out method

Especially since you’re more fertile after birth..

Not rare at all, 13 months between my dds and 9 months between ds's, latter was 2 months premature.

Really really common thing to happen.
You have several kids, you should know this happens.
Only way to know is buy a pregnancy test.
And some condoms

My partner is manager of Tesco and at work till 10 tonight, I could text him and get him to pick one up, but seriously how would I word it,

“Hey baby, we are in need of some wine, buy yourself a beer too if you like, my treat, oh and some condoms....oh and a pregnancy test.

I know pull out isn’t the best but I thought with EBF the chances would be so tiny! Like super tiny!

I thought that was a myth? And that you are super fertile after having a baby?

But then I am learning all this from MN, so feel free to disregard my sum total of knowledge on the subject.

I get this is a dickhead move now... I guess I’ve always been lucky before but just didn’t know it.
I honestly thought the chances were tiny!
Xxx

Just say you’re feeling a bit anxious about not having any periods and you just want a test so you can put your mind at ease

You have sex, babies, live together, he's seen you give birth.... All the really intimate parts of life. But you can't ask him to grab a PT on the way home?
I'm struggling with this.
Really not difficult. Does he know unprotected sex is how conception happens?

“Don’t panic but I need you to bring home a pregnancy test”

He’s had the sex- he knows what the consequences are.

Bteastfeeding can be used as birth control before 6 months but all feeds need to be from the breast I.e. no formula feeds.

I feel pregnant when I was exclusively Bf my first, period hadn’t started again and I needed Ivf for my first and boom, a 14 month age gap and very tired me. Hope you get the results you want x

From nhs:

Contraception and breastfeeding

You're unlikely to have any periods if you breastfeed exclusively (give your baby breast milk only) and your baby is under 6 months old.

Because of this, some women use breastfeeding as a form of natural contraception. This is known as thelactational amenorrhoea method, or LAM.

It's important to start using another form of contraception if:

• your baby is more than 6 months old
• you give them anything else apart from breast milk, such as a dummy, formula orsolid foods
• your periods start again (even light spotting counts)
• you stop night feeding
• you start to breastfeed less often
• there are longer intervals between feeds, both during the day and at night

The effect ofexpressing breast milkon LAM isn't known, but it may make it less effective.

Oh I fell not feel! Post night shift brain

Hey, could you bring home a pregnancy test and some condoms? I was a bit nauseous this morning and want to rule out morning sickness

I fell pregnant with number four whilst breastfeeding number three, had no periods between them, so it does happen. Nausea was my first clue. Get a test OP, if only to put your mind at rest.

Pull out method? Really? 🙄
