Post subject: Breastfeeding and periods and rubbish doctors Hi,
Im a bit confused I asked my doc at 6 week check when I would get a periods I am breast feeding (14 weeks) he just said anytime and shrugged!!! This is also the same doc who said my pnd (severe with VERY severe anxiety-not safe in my own home ,wanting to run away etc) was just me being over tired and a control freak!! nice eh!! Just wondering if anyone can shed light on the subject of when the dreaded periods might show up? Still breastfeeding if that helps? much love xxx _________________  Posted: Sat Jan 10, 2009 8:43 pm
Post subject: Im afraid he was right hun, your period can show up at any time. Women who breast feed normally get their periods later. I didn't get mine back until after about four months of giving birth cos I was breast feeding. Some lucky women make it to six months

Post subject: my friend is still breastfeeding her 13 month old and still hasn't got her periods back!
I expressed every feed from birth, and got my period 3 weeks after giving birth  It really does depend on the individual I'm afraid._________________
