Hey, I've been breastfeeding my 5 month old son. Was advised by doctor that breastfeeding is a good natural contraceptive since I am unable to take birth control- have terrible reactions.

They failed to mention that as he has a tounge tie I've been using nipple shields therefore the LAM method is not effective.

I've not bled since spotting at 8 weeks PP so I have no way of knowing how far along I am.

I had symptoms which I assumed was due to a chest infection.

Tired

Sleeping badly outwith usual breastfeeding tiredness (not slept through full night yet)

Was tested for anemia and also thyroid and diabetes since the symptoms just got worse even when Chest infection cleared up.

Have been noticing pains which I thought was my first period following c section but it's been weeks and now I've went from feeling bloated to feeling like how I did when my bump popped and my pooch from post pregnancy had hardened significantly.

I'd love another baby but we've booked a wedding in May this year so if I'm thinking correctly I could be 7 months at most by then 👀👀👀

Has anyone else been in a similar situation who could advise on how they felt symptom wise and did a pregnancy so close after a C section pose many issues?
