I may have my period. Im almost 7 weeks post partum and have not spotted or anything in almost 3 weeks and spotting this morning. According to my OB last week I'm perfectly healed. I don't think I did anything to start bleeding again (no sex or anything). I did do some light jogging over the weekend (like run walking...) but don't think I would be spotting today as a result. Oh and I'm exclusively breastfeeding. Shoot me now!!!!!
Has this happened to anyone else??

Not quite that early ... but I did have a ghost of a period about 11 weeks p/p when I was EBF. Then I didn't get another one until about 8 months, I think. After that they've been regular. Hoping it's just a fluke for you!

My sister got her period 6 weeks PP and she was ebf-ing too. She was understandably pissed! Her midwife was shocked.

I know how that feels, my period arrived 29 days after my C-section! I EBF so I was hoping for months without a period!

I'm impressed you went running! I tried running and made it to the top of the street and had to stop. I'm only 4 weeks pp so no period yet.

I got mine at 6 weeks postpartum with DD and 8 weeks postpartum with DS. Some of us just don't get a very long break!

I have an ebf baby wearing friend who got it at 16 weeks. I got lucky with 14 months respite.

Me too. I started the spotting back at 5.5 weeks--but I think @mrsdaredevil or another may mama said the same thing, and it could still be lochia even though there was no blood for a while...
I went running at 3.5 weeks. Felt great--until the next day, my belly hurt so badly I had to stop. Haven;t started back yet.

No fair for you!!
I got mine after 6 months and I was upset with that, but 6 weeks is reeeally unfair.

Mine came back at 7 weeks too. And then again at 9 weeks.
Awesome.

Ugh!! Well I'm not totally sure if it's AF yet as I'm just spotting. Though I may have some imaginary cramps now too. Please stay away!!

I had some spotting at 6 weeks that I thought was AF but wasn't. I hope that is what you are experiencing right now and not AF!

Sorry to hear about that! Boo I had a c-section and remembered that when I overdid things I would bleed just a teeny bit and then it would go away later that day. I'm 3 months pp now and nothing for a month now. And I'm exclusively breastfeed as well.

I am EBF, baby wear, my baby ate every 1.5 hrs, and I still got my period at 6 weeks postpartum. Haven't seen one since though, and my baby is now 6 months old.

I had a day of spotting a few days ago and I thought for sure AF was back. Knock on wood- it hasn't come yet.
I'm almost 10wks pp and I BF but also supplement.

False alarm!!!!! Apparently just some spotting from increased activity. Phew!

Well, she's back again! 11 weeks. Guess its going to be an every
2 week ordeal. Bleh!
