How do you know if you've had your period after having a vaginal birth? I had my daughter 3 weeks ago and I stopped bleeding only a week after having her. I don't know when to expect my period or when to get on birth control.
@isabellesmomma212, my 6 week appointment is on the 6th of April so I was going to ask then but I don't know if I should make another appointment for as soon as possible. @elismommy428 unfortunately I am not exclusively breastfeeding :/ i tried but it's hard to only breastfeed with my boyfriends other children (2 and 4)
are you breastfeeding?
if your exclusively breastfeeding you can consider that as a birth control, don't trust it a lot though!
you CAN get pregnant but you have lower possibilities,
I am exclusively breastfeeding, my baby is almost 8 months and just last month I started my period, I know cuz I just got my period this month too
You might be safe. But if you are really worried, you can ask your doctor.
@isabellesmomma212, my period has always been light. I mostly want to know because I made the mistake of having sex so now I need to find out if I'm pregnant :/ again :(
You can just call and ask. I'm sure some one can tell you right away if you should be okay or to come in sooner. No harm in asking. 😊
