Period after birth 😩

Sarah • Jake😍 momma to 2 sweet boys + a bonus momma to a beautiful girl photographer

Yesterday I started my period for the first time in a year! I had my son 10/28/17. I was really hoping that It wasn’t going to come since I’m ebf but it’s here and I forgot how HORID my cramps are 😭 did any other mommies start theirs while bfing??

I didn’t start mine until the month after I stopped nursing (so 1 year and 1 month postpartum), but I was basically a cow. For that whole year I was simultaneously feeding my son and pumping enough to feed my friends adopted baby of the same age. I got my period once and was knocked up again 😂 so I’ve had one period in the span of like 3 years. It’s been pretty nice. I was an absolute mess with that first period pp though. It was like getting my first period all over again, I didn’t even know what to do with myself haha

Oh my goodness that’s so sad! But I’m so glad he’s doing so well. Good for your friend for raising and adopting him! He is very lucky❤️

Thanks. I figured, I had the milk, might as well feed a baby with it 🤷‍♀️ and her son was born 3 months premature and addicted to drugs. Poor little guy. His biological mother literally used on her way to the hospital, so he was born high. So sad. He’s thriving now though!!!

I started mine today at 11 weeks PP & am breastfeeding. I always had terrible cramps as well but I guess that’s what made my labor more bearable. So I guess I’m glad my uterus had been preparing me all along..? Lol

I couldn’t agree more with you! I was able to have a natural unmedicated birth! I had always planned for that but I’m glad my body also was preparing me in the long run

Mine started around my daughters first birthday. But she had slowed down a bit.

Got it 3 months postpartum for the first time but it wasn’t regular. Still, I got pregnant again at 7 months pp

The second one? No. But we knew we wanted more kids, I’m already an old mom, and we have the space and finances for it

Did you plan your pregnancy?

I got my period a month after my pp bleeding stopped. I breastfed for 8 months and had my period the whole time, it did make my flow a little lighter but that’s about it

That’s really good to know! Thank you. Did you do anything to help it during that time?
