First period after baby?!? EBF

Question

When did everyone start their period after lo? And especially for those who are EBF?  My lo is 20 weeks and I’m pretty sure I started my period yesterday. It’s really bad and I don’t ever remember having a period like this in my life. I have had little spotting here and there since he was born but just enough to show when I wiped but not enough to wear tampons or anything.

Answer

Very normal for your periods to be crazy different after having a baby. 
I didn’t get mine back till my son was 9 months old and it wasn’t any heavier (I expected to to be crazy heavy) but my cycles actually were crazy messed up!!! My cycles where 22-30 days and I’ve always been a 28 day cycle person.

Answer

3 months, which felt so early to me since baby was still nursing ever 2 hours around the clock. I didn't even feel the period coming on.

Answer

I unluckily started my period only 6 WEEKS after I gave birth. And he is EBF. Needless to say I was extremely dissapointed.

Answer

Mine returned 4 months pp and was bad for the next 2 months before leveling out.

Answer

10 months and wasn’t nearly as painful as before giving birth

Answer

I got my period when my LO turned 7 months. It just wasn't any worse than when I wasn't pregnant. I do feel a little more cramp but that's about it.
