odd return of periods after baby #2

hi, just wondering if anyone can give me some advice .. I've got 2 littlies, my daughter's nearly 3 and my son is 14 months.  I had a return of period for my first at 8wks old (sooo jipped!), even though fully breastfeeding til 15 months).  They were very irregular as they have always been.  After my son, they returned at 11 months, in his first yr of life he has had 3 ops, and had 4 months of hospitalisation, a month of which on life support in intensive care for respiratory probs which unfortunately is still ongoing. .. so VERY stressful as you can imagine.

My question .. the last 5 1/2 wks, I have had my period 3 times.  I no sooner finish but then get it again a wk later.  Is it anything to be worried about? or just getting back on track? (still breastfeeding my son).

Thanks in advance

Hey Kirsty,

I had a similar problem after Bub. The doctor asked me to stop breastfeeding and that did seem to solve it. I don't think it was necessarily the feeding but rather the extra stress of fitting another thing into my day. I would definitely go see your doctor as it could be something else and it's better to rule those out definitively rather than just wonder. Hope that helps.

Hey chiki, umm sounds like your body has always been out of sink with your cycle.  Talk to your docter about trying to make it regular.  I am on the depo or 3 mounthly injection and my periods have gone away. YEH HAR.  I bleed for 6 weeks then stopped for 3 days then bleed for 2 weeks, then spotted every day. Its very frustrating, Every womens body is diffrent.  You have to do what you think is right for you your body and your baby. Seek medical attention ASAP.

It may well be that your body is just readjusting itself, but it is worth it just to have it checked out, even if it is only to set your own mind at rest.  Hope things are going better now.
