First period after baby timing
When I had my daughter I didn’t have a period until she was about 6 months old—about the time she started eating solids. I am now 5 weeks postpartum from having my son and I am thinking I may have just started. I am exclusively breastfeeding (we supplemented some the first week of his life because he was a little early but he’s been EBF for a month now). But I’m cramping, having some bright red bleeding. Just curious if anyone has had a similar experience with it being so different from the first time around? I guess I just assumed that it would be the same. But with my daughter I also developed hypothyroidism, which I didn’t learn until 8-9 months postpartum and now I’m wondering if that was part of why it was so long before I got my period whereas now I’m on medication for my thyroid so everything is more normal. 🤷🏼♀️
