question about period

[sosurreal09]

i am and have been since birth exclusively breastfeeding my daughter. she is only two months old and i have a full blown period! i had my 6 weeks of bleeding after i had her. she is exactly nine weeks and yesterday i got my period. its heavy too. is that normal? i still have my milk and everything. she eats 8 times a day sometimes 9. i know im feeding her enough so idk why i have a period. did this happen to anyone else?

It's normal to not get your period for a while, but it's also normal to get it back right away. I didn't get mine for a year with #1, but got it right away with #2. But #2 is still going strong at 10 months and has gained weight well. She hasn't had any problems that would indicate a lack of supply or anything.

I think I got my period at maybe 2 months post pregnancy!!! I Was so outraged. Someone told me it was because I was super fertile. It could have been because I was pumping when I returned to work-- whatever. We are nursing and pumping at 9mo. She is thriving. I hear you. I was Peeved that it came back when most of my friends still no period. Ugh!
