Questions & Answers

Hi,
Congratulations! I totally understand how overwhelming the time of and after the pregnancy can be. It gets really difficult at times to cope with all the stress and an imbalanced body for a very long time, even after when your baby is born.Because of all the wrecked hormones, and the imbalance created in the body. Imbalance in our hormones, and a disturbed menses is pretty normal with post-partum women, because the body is still trying to cope with all the heavy boost of the pregnancy hormones. It is said, that it usually takes up to another year before the body of the mother is completely on her normal routines of menses. It is thus best advisable to breastfeed until a minimum duration of 6 months, and to not consume any birth pills. Doing any of these can make your menses stay in an abnormal condition for a longer period than in the women who follow these above said rules.I went through it, too, and my doctor asked me to take it as normally as possible with no meds.

Are your breastfeeding or using formula? i always thought you don't get a period while regular breastfeeding.

That's normal. It can take months to return to a predictable cycle and it may or may not be like it was before you had kids. My cycle changed after both of mine and was realky unpredictable for months after my dd.
