Is feeling more hormonal normal whilst weaning / BF less?

Before pregnancy - I’d be quite an over thinker or anxious and generally quite reactive to hormone changes throughout my cycle.

it’s only now that I’m weaning I notice my ‘old self’ or ‘old brain’ coming back in terms of more overthinking and some anxiety. I’ve also had a few spots arise.

I’ve always started to feel various twinges in my ovaries and it’s as if maybe they’re trying to come back in action… I didn’t feel anything obviously when pregnant or EBF.

ny baby is BF much less in the day due to higher food intake and I’m just wondering - did anyone else experience this?

We’re always told about the hormonal crash after birth but I didn’t really feel anything then but now I can just tell my hormones are rising back up

Probably your cycle is coming back. I got my period back when I was down to 2 feeds a day with both babies
