Periods after birth?

Question

My son is now 8 weeks and 2 days old and i havnt yet had a period and i am not brestfeedindi bled for 2 weeks after giving birth but nothing since.Me and my husband have had s*x since and have used the withdrawel method as i waiting for my period to start taking the pill.I am having some mild cramps,back ache and tender breast could my period start any time now.

Answer 1

Withdrawel is not a form of contraception and should not even be called a method! You could definately be pregnant again!!!

Answer 2

I had my baby 11 weeks ago and im still waiting for my period to return. I spoke to my doctor and he said if your period doent return before 12 weeks post partum then go and see your GP. you've got a few weeks to go yet so dont panic its normal. hope it comes soon!!!

Answer 3

Hopefully these are signs that your body is getting back to normal and your period is on its way....maybe even arrived by now! However if it is not and you do find yourself pregnant again dont panic, see your GP, speak to your Health Visitor/Midwife, and look forward to having your children close together. Good Luck!    

Answer 4

when i had my son it took about 8week for my period to return but everyone is different.

it does sound like period symptoms but it could also be pregnancy symptoms as the withdrawl method is not very reliable and i know a few women who have thought it was safe to have unprotected s*x after pregnancy cos their periods had not started again however some of them fell pregnant during this time.

i would buy a home pregnancy testing kit and see what the outcome is.

hope your period arrives soon and congrats on new baby
