"Periods - please help" Posted by tinalw81 8 May at 16:06
ok so i had ben 7 weeks and 2 days ago, breastfed for 4 days then onto the bottle and i still haven't re-started my AF. has anyone else taken this long? i mentioned it to the doc as i am also back on weight watchers and i havent lost anything in the last 3 weeks despite being really strict (i lost 4 stone before i had ben so i know i am doing the diet right) anyway docs said to go back in 5 weeks if still no period/weightloss andthey will look into it.
i am a bit of a worrier so would be nice to know someone else was the same and it is just 'normal' or at least to have an idea what the prob might be.
i have been wondering the same thing!! my baby is 13 weeks old today . i breastfed for 9 weeks and i still havent had a period. my gp doesnt seem unduly concerned thou, i guess it just can take a while for your body to adjust back to its pre pregnancy state. it just worries me that it is going to come when i am out and about and i wont be ready for it!! i have enough stuff to take everywhere with me for oliver without all that as well!!
I had a baby in July last year, got pregnant 10 weeks later and had no period in the middle so I guess you're quite normal and it's different lengths of time for everyone. Other times I've had babies and got a period a few weeks later so I wouldn't worry about this. As for the weight loss prob, I dunno why that would be sorry, but how disheartening not to lose weight.
