first period after baby?...man, i hope im not pregnant again
in Baby
hi everyone, i have a 7wk old baby (well 8 wks tomorrow) and i bled for 4 weeks after having him, then at 6 wks i had a wee bleed that lasted 3-4 days but was hardly anything, and was much lighter than a normal period, like pinky.i also had no cramp or any other symptoms i would normally get with a period, like horniness and hungriness!
he is my second, and after my first, my periods were just the same as normal after having her., so i wonder if it could have just been some left overs from after having the baby? could i bleed for 4 weeks and then get a wee bit more 2 weeks later?
me and hubbie have been using "withdrawal" method, as i havent got a family planning appt yet, but he is pretty sure i couldnt be pregnant again.
when did your periods return after a baby??

Think everyone's periods after are different- mine were different with both my babies, this time it kept coming and going til I went back on the pill.

we did think (for about a minute) that it was a bit of a dodgy method of contraception, but i actually (quite sadly) googled it and found alot of stuff that said it was fine.
this is a bit embarrassing and sorry to seem so silly but if you are 'pleasuring' your oh/hubbie with your hand, then nothing comes out til the end, so is it different when you are having actual sex?? (am i really stupid or havent noticed lol?)
Did you take a test? (Sorry, so nosy!)

Also the Withdrawal method does not work, my 11 year old daughter is proof of that!
me and hubbie talked last night about what would happen if i was pregnant so soon and he said he would be happy about it but asked if i thought it would be too soon...i think anyone would think it would be too soon!! but anyway if i was then it would be fine, we would just have to cope, but i would feel sorry for Ethan (8wks) cause i would feel like i wouldnt be able to enjoy him as much cause id have this wee new baby again! and id feel bad for Elise (3) cause she would be thinking all these new babies mean she gets no attention.
i guess this kind of thing happens to lots of people and they just get on with it, have a few years of really hard work then its good when they are a bit older being close in age.
anyway it prob wont come to that, but is obviously worth thinking about.
i will keep you all posted x
