Postpartum periods
With my first baby, I breastfed and supplemented pretty much from day 1. I got my first period after her at 5 weeks. In October 2017, I had a D&C because of miscarriage and even though my HCG was still up there and showing positive pregnancy, I got my period 4 weeks post D&C. This time, I’m exclusively breastfeeding. Baby only takes a bottle while I’m at work. I pump only when I’m working. I’m currently almost 9 weeks pp and still have not gotten a period. I know it’s normal with breastfeeding but I started bleeding over the weekend when I was at work but it was a tiny bit. Then I was bleeding a little yesterday, mostly brown blood with a little red. Then it stopped. I know it’s not my period but I’m getting frustrated. I hate my period but I won’t go back on birth control and we don’t want another baby right away. Just wondering if anyone else is going through this?
