Hey yall as you know I had josh a month ago.....Well my bleeding really slowed and stopped for a day or 2 and then started up again.....Onyl it was pretty heavy and bright red like a period....My mom said it is probably my period but I didn't expect to have it this soon? And I thought it was suppoesed to be delayed if you are breastfeeding? Well I know it isn't always but I heard it happens often.....I haven't done anything strenuous other than resume cleaning the bathrooms so I don't know what it could be other than my first post-pregnancy period......What do you guys think? I just think its odd since blu had ethan 2 months ago and still hasnt had a period....

My friend got her period when she was breastfeeding after two months. I guess her doctor told her it was cuz her baby didnt eat at regular intervals so whenever she breastfed it wasnt on a schedule. Do u use a breastpump? I'm not sure what it oculd be... But thats the only thing I can think of!

To stoop ovulating, and thus stop having a period you must be feeding exclusivly every 3 hours, no dummy ( I think u guys call them pacifiers) and this includes night time...... Even then u may still release an egg...... Yes it could be your period, but it could also be that you just had a pause in your bleeding, it is concidered normal to bleed for anywhere between 2 and 8 weeks, but if you start passing clots larger than a 5c coin, hmmmmmm dont know ur equivilent, (1cm) then you need to go see your doc and make sure that every thing is fine. Hope that helps.....
