Q: Menstration Already??

I don't think I started my period after my first until three months post pregnancy. I am almost seven weeks post pregnancy and feel like it is coming. I am breastfeeding. Has anyone else had it come so early during breastfeeding or even if you didn't breastfeed. This stinks. I am getting the Miranda IUD next week so hopefully that will lessen any future cramps. It is just so hard being a woman..sob sob...

I wonder if you are coming down off the pregnancy hormones? It would be pretty early, esp with breast feeding to get your period. Not unheard of, just unusual. Hope you feel better soon!

Gosh darn it. I am an unusual one, like proudmommy. My period has come but it is extremely light. What joy. Gotta love those cramps.

pssshhh... ur lucky. the first time i got mine after Caty was born, i literally couldnt MOVE. If i did i would leak EVERYWHERE. i ruined a lot lot lot of underwear like, 10-15 pairs.) I was going thru an overnight pad (max protection) PLUS a super heavy tampon every 10-15 minutes. Seriously. I had to actually sit on two towels folded up under me so that i didnt ruin my furniture. Thank God i had my mom and husband there to watch the kids or else i woulda been in TROUBLE.
