Avatar f tn Alot of women who breastfeed usually don't get a period till well after they quit breastfeeding. That's how it was for me and my sister in law also got pregnant while breastfeeding and she didn't have her period. She has 3 kids and it happened with the last two pregnancies.
Avatar f tn Hi ladies, I'm a mother of two month old baby. My baby was born on 29 December 2014 and I continued to bleed full January. It's March now n I didn't get my periods. I want to know what are the odds of getting my periods n me getting pregnant with no periods. I'm a pcos woman n last pregnancy was ovulation induced. Your answers will be appreciable with great regard. I'm breastfeeding my baby fulltime.
192291 tn?1345400135 You can BF even while you are pregnant. I believe they call it Tandem Breastfeeding? You can contact the La Leche League and speak with someone about it! OBGYNs usually want you to wait a year or two before trying for another baby because of how much a pregnancy can deplete your vitamin and mineral stores. So begin taking a prenatal again, if you've stopped. And if your OB is on board, I don't see why you can't go for it!
Avatar f tn Question for you ladies, do you guys know if it's bad to get a tattoo when pregnant? Any risks to getting it done? I'm due in less than 3 weeks and I know I can wait, but I was curious what if I would get it before my due date.
Avatar f tn Its going to take longer if you aren't ovulating regularly. Thing that will help are to start tracking your cycles, track your temp, take ovulation predictor tests, and I hate to say it but decreasing how much you are breast feeding will help your cycle to become more regular which will make it easier to predict ovulation and therefore get pregnant.
192291 tn?1345400135 t think your milk would stop really because I have heard of people getting pregnant again when still breastfeeding. The thing you have to worry about though is because of all the hormones it can make the milk taste funny and the baby won't want to breastfeed anymore because she doesn't like the taste.
Avatar f tn Well Ive heard of people getting pregnant while breastfeeding and what you describe does sound like implantation bleeding.
Avatar f tn It depends on a couple of things, if your exclusivley breastfeeding, no pumping etc and your period hasnt returned you should be fine, usually for about 3 months its really safe while breastfeeding, if your bottle feeding and have had a period then there is always a small chance of getting pregnant, I would think its pretty slim, unless its right in the middle of your cycle, I still think the chances would be pretty slim :)
1579657 tn?1296611483 t using birth control there is a big possibility that you are indeed pregnant. If your periods start while you were breastfeeding then there is no reason it would be delayed when you stopped, take a HPT to find out. Keep us updated.
Avatar f tn So I am still breastfeeding my 7months old son and I don't get periods ,so my question is can I still get pregnant if I am not getting my period because of the nursing? I really don't want to be pregnant now because I had C-section when I was having the baby and I am not taking any birth control right now.. Please help me , thank you! !
1468158 tn?1363026295 It might be worth looking into the book called Taking Charge Of Your Fertility. It is all about how to get pregnant and how to not get pregnant if you dont want to use birth control. You just have to watch your cervical mucus and track your temperature and not have sex during your fertile days.
Avatar f tn You cant get a tattoo while pregnant and if your breastfeeding you cant get a tattoo till after your done.
Avatar f tn Is it true if your boobs don't get any bigger then what they were before you were pregnant, means you can't produce milk for breastfeeding? They haven't grown much at all and im 26 weeks.
Avatar f tn t expecting to get pregnant during such a crazy time in our lives but it happens.. anyways can I get some ideas on what to get including breastfeeding supplies ect. I'd really love to hear other moms input on this. I'm going baby shopping in a few days and I'm wanting to make a list and try and stick to my budget. Also what do I bring for the baby after I deliver. I got everything I need for myself but not sure what to take to the hospital for the baby.
Avatar f tn I'm 8 weeks pregnant and my son is breastfeeding still (11mos). I keep hearing breastfeeding is bad when pregnant and can cause miscarriage? Plus, he is starting to eat more solid food during the day, but any advice on how to help wean or get him full to sleep through night?
Avatar f tn Ok so I had a baby on 23December. I'm breastfeeding him and lately Im getting really sore boobs, belly cramps, sickness like I can't eat as much and also alot of vaginal discharge too. I mean is there any explanation other then pregnancy because I got told its very hard to get pregnant whilst breastfeeding and I'm not ready for another baby. I'm worried!!
1404712 tn?1281494643 t believe the myth that you cannot get pregnant while breastfeeding. Many have believed this and have become pregnant.
Avatar n tn My doctor told me that breastfeeding is like a natural birth control, as long as you are breastfeeding, your chances of getting pregnant are very, very slim, but I got pregnant now while I was, but my daughter was 2 yes. Old also, so I guess you could say it's just a waiting game!
Avatar f tn Has anyone got pregnant while breastfeeding? If so, how did you know you were pregnant if you never got a period?
Avatar f tn U should ask ur Doctor before making a choice Instead (: Just to be on the safe side
Avatar f tn What r the chances of me getting pregnant again 6 weeks after birth? I juz missed my period and im not sure if im pregnant again.. i mean like i juz gave birth to twin girls 6 weeks ago,isit even possible to get pregnant again this fast??
293845 tn?1227997530 I'm breastfeeding, my son is almost a month old. Is it possible for me to get pregnant now? Or how unlikely is it? I'm in the process of finding a good birth control but until then should I refrain from sex if I don't want another baby just yet? thanks!!
Avatar f tn before getting pregnant I had been losing weight I was just over 200lbs and had lost 12lbs. I'm slowly putting this weight back on and an starting to feel very unhappy with how I look. I realize that with baby I'm going to gain some weight. I'm getting married about a month and a half after baby is born but I feel like I'll still be fat. my fiancé doesn'tseem to want to be intimate anymore either.
