When did your period return after birth?
My son will be 8 weeks tomorrow. I had not been bleeding at for a few weeks now. . . I bled about four weeks after delivery. Just today I started spotting again and seeing blood when I wipe. I don't have any cramps and the only PMS symptoms I really noticed was my skin broke out the last few days. Is this my period returning?
Also to mention I am exclusively breast feeding.

It's common to spot periodically while breast feeding without actually starting your period. I didn't get my period back until my son was 4 months (I bled for 3 weeks PP), even after it came back it was irregular for a few months.
I was exclusively breast feeding also.

My period came back at 12 weeks PP. I was breastfeeding but also supplementing with formula. Usually if you're exclusively breastfeeding it can take up to a year to come back, but that's not how it is for everyone, so it could your period returning. And don't expect it to be the same as it was before pregnancy. I've had 3 periods so far and they're still not back to normal yet.

I had the conventional bleeding for a week or 2 then I had a brownish clean sort discharge. Then I took the Microval pill on Tuesday and all started bleeding that nighttime, uncertain if it replaced into from the pill yet that replaced into the only one I took because of the fact afterwards I heard it ought to dry ur milk, so I particularly have bled considering Tuesday so for 3 days now, Im specific its my era. My son replaced into 4wks old on Tuesday. i'm breastfeeding.

My period came back the 2nd month...which totally pissed me off because I was breastfeeding exclusively and had hoped that would keep it away for a while. It's different for everyone, though...my best friend didn't have a period until her daughter was 8 months old (lucky duck).

My bleeding was all over the place. I stated to have a normal period about 3 months after delivery, with my 3rd baby. It could be your normal cycle returning. Mine was different with each baby. If it is abnormal bleeding I would deff try to reach your doctor/midwife! :)

If you're nursing, you wont see it for awhile. My son is almost 8 months and my cycle hasn't returned. also the spotting can just be the last of the healing up you're doing

With my first i got it when i stopped breastfeeding when she was 5 months.. my second is still currently breastfeeding and is 12 months and I haven't gotten it yet. I remember i thought i had stopped bleeding after having both my babies and had spotting so it's normal..
