so serious question how does the whole period thing work after birth

the thing about not having a period while breastfeeding is definitely not true lol I breastfed my daughter for 15 months and got a period at 6 and they were regular ever since until I got pregnant. once they start cereal or solids or you supplament you'll get one. not having a period while breastfeeding is mostly true only when exclusively breastfeeding. . no solids, formula, cereal ect. but they suck afterwards.

they force mine anyway so it'll go the sane way it went this time for me@charlotttesmama6515

Not lucky. I want to try for another baby. but its almost impossible to track ovulation without a period

it all depends on your body. Everyone is different.

mines always been irregular so may be ill get lucky@jeanie @charlotttesmama6515 @shakia214 @their.bomb.ass.mom

I mean, the way my doctor explained it was your body is tryna get back on track, so I guess it makes sense, my periods were always awful before pregnancy, so they were fairly manageable after since I was used to awful ones.

8 months post partum and I still haven't got my period. Thanks to breastfeeding.

I breastfeed and had my period from the day I had my daughter. It all depends on your body.

that's what I'm scared of is it'll be worse@their.bomb.ass.mom

I got mine 7 weeks pp, and for me, it was fairly worse than before pregnancy. I only had 4 before getting pregnant again, but they were all pretty crampy and painful. Not compared to the afterbirth cramps, but they still sucked. And, all my family members got a period while breastfeeding, so, I guess it depends on the person.

it all depends you bled for awhile after pregnancy. depending if you breastfeed or not your period can show up a few weeks after to a few months. honestly my periods were about the same after each pregnancy

after you deliver of course you'll be bleeding for a while bc your body is still cleaning everything out. I think I only bled for about a week but it's not that bad..

thank god I don't want a period. lol@yeremiiahs_mommy

yeah like is it worse? than a normal one@shakia214

my momma told me that you probably won't get a period if you breastfeed or u might get one here and there. with my son I only breastfed for 2 months bc my milk dried up and I got my period 1 month later.

what do you mean? like when will you get it?
