period already?? 9 weeks postpartum and exclusively breastfeeding

Question

What the hell, I just stopped bleeding 3 weeks ago and I already got my period at 9 weeks postpartum!! I'm exclusively breastfeeding, I thought I wasn't supposed to get it! I feel horrible too... Is this normal?

Answer

I was disappointed to get mine after 7 weeks pp. I also ebf. I'm terrified of getting pregnant lol. My baby is only 11 weeks old.

Answer

My ob said that if you aren't feeding every 4 hours at least then your period will come back soon.

Answer

Same here. LO just literally turned 2mths n BOOM Aunt Flow seems to b making up for lost time. Feel cheated :( Plus Im EB so I had high expectations of not seeing AF for atleast 6mths. Oh well

Answer

I'm exclusively breastfeeding and had my first period at 6 weeks post pardum

Answer

I breast and bottle feed and I got mine for the first time about a week after she turned 2 months old. I know two other moms who delivered the same day as me. One EBF and the other only formula and they both had their periods way before me.

Answer

I am EBF as well & got my period at 6 weeks pp lol. Everyone's different! :)

Answer

I'm 8 weeks 3 days pp and still haven't seen my period yet I'm only part breast feeding

Answer

Yep I'm in same boat. I'm 9 weeks and 5 days postpartum and I got my period 3 days ago. I was just as surprised because I'm exclusively breastfeeding. Also my cramps before bed last night were killer. I had such a hard time changing and feeding my LO for her 8pm feeding before she went down for the night.

Answer

Yep same, except I'm 7 weeks pp 😞
