Q: Help!!
asked by: Jolie_3110 on October 11th, 2007

Just a quick question. How long did it take you to get your period after having baby? Its been 9 weeks now and I havent had anything. I was breastfeeding but stopped at 4 weeks. I do have PCOS which does make periods irregular but after having my other children my periods were like clockwork untill I started on the pill.

When aflie hit 6 weeks it was Chris' birthday. The boys went to bed and we had a few drinks and chilled out. The problem is we did get abit frisky! Embarassed (the poor man hadnt had anything since I was about 5 months pregnant!!) We did get caught up in the moment and started it without any protection (i know I am an fool!!) but (tmi!) we did stop like half way through and we were like 'what the hell are we doing!!!' Needless to say we carried on WITH protection. I got the pill yesterday from the doctor but I am alittle worried that I have made a huge mistake.... Crying or Very sad

Please help ladies....hope this makes sense I have been typing this super fast got to pick up lucas in a sec.

I had my baby in June and my period didn't come until the beginning of October. You just need to give your body some time to adjust to not having a period for 9 months and going through delivery.
If you are worried, take a test.
Also, since you HAD been breastfeeding, that could have thrown off you period as well.
Not to mention the stress of a new baby! That and worrying can cause more delay.

I am being a little paranoid I know but when I had Aydan I got a/f straight away and with Lucas it was about 5 weeks after his birth.

lol Sandra!

Becks it is reassuring. With Alfie still being so little and having Aydan and Lucas it would have been bloody hard work!! Although it has set me thinking I said Alfie was going to be my last but .... maybe in a couple of years...maybe one more!! Wink I think I will keep that quiet untill Chris is in a really good mood!! Laughing
