The average for a bf mum is 13 months and 9 months for a bottle mum. I got mine back at 6 weeks I found using applicators helped to get back into the swing of things]]> Fri, 22 Sep 2006 22:44:34 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3818&PID=73487&title=ummm-its-back#73487 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3818&PID=73445&title=ummm-its-back#73445 Author: luna

Oh, I feel a bit more normal now! I bled until the beginning of Sept, then on the 5th I seemed to get a period, although it then stopped, then started, then stopped. Then yesterday & today it seems to have returned more so - weird, but after reading these posts I feel a bit better - anyone else had this strange kinda thing happen?]]> Fri, 22 Sep 2006 18:51:08 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3818&PID=73445&title=ummm-its-back#73445 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3818&PID=73384&title=ummm-its-back#73384 Author: Deez

I was like that too Deez, even tho Hannah was fully breastfeed I got my first period back at 6 weeks! Had only stopped bleeding about two weeks before that...

Get into your pelvic floor exercises like Janine said - if you tend to forget, try and do a set of 10 after every time you've been to the tiolet. Start holding for 2 secs and try to gradually increase a second at a time. Try not to squeeze your butt at the same time, just the muscles you would if you were trying to stop going wees. But dont actually do that (stopping mid-wees) as its not recommended anymore. Phew... taking off my physio hat now ]]> Thu, 21 Sep 2006 21:38:05 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3818&PID=73222&title=ummm-its-back#73222 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3818&PID=73207&title=ummm-its-back#73207 Author: Maya

I was the same, it took me ages to be brave enough to try tampons and when I finally did they didn't feel right and so I pretty much only used them when I had to, and used pads instead.

Not looking forward to that again - about the only good thing about being preg is no period! (And the baby/ies at the end of course)]]> Thu, 21 Sep 2006 20:52:19 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3818&PID=73207&title=ummm-its-back#73207 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3818&PID=73179&title=ummm-its-back#73179 Author: ellabellame

i was actually going to start a thread to ask about something similar. kind of the opposite actually. mikeys 10 months old now and i still haven't got my period, even though he's eating 3 solid meals and snacks and only having milk feeds before he goes to sleep.

deez-i've also heard that it takes years for your body to get back to normal after giving birth. some things never go back the way they were.

Vep, lots of squeezes down there!!! Work on holding it for about 5 seconds at a time.

Did you know it takes 2 years for your body to get back to normal after having a baby? And your ribs never move back to where they were. Crazy aye!]]> Thu, 21 Sep 2006 16:42:30 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3818&PID=73168&title=ummm-its-back#73168 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3818&PID=73167&title=ummm-its-back#73167 Author: caraMel

I had the same thing after Ella. It took me about 3 periods before I could comfortably use tampons again. (also had stitches). They didn't feel right and no matter how correctly I inserted them I still seemed to bleed around them.
I second the pelvic floor idea, thats what made the difference for me!]]> Thu, 21 Sep 2006 16:39:08 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3818&PID=73167&title=ummm-its-back#73167 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3818&PID=73132&title=ummm-its-back#73132 Author: mum2paris

you have to remember things were probably a little stretched out and possibly won't have completely fallen back into place again yet.. (am sorry to say they never completely do) plus the muscles can feel a bit slack and numb too.. it probably is perfectly fine but since your muscles are numbish and still recouping it will feel a bit weird... try some pelvic floor exercises to try and build it back up over time but other than that, i am not sure.. It took forever for me to even try using tampons again after having my girls.. and i now prefer not to use then cos it's still too uncomfy where i was stitched.. (over 3 years ago!!) despite being a stictly "i hate pads" kinda chick before. lol

Yep it does refer to your flow, and my flow is normal not heavy. The tampon itself just feels small.....I gave birth 9 weeks ago and stopped bleeding two weeks after and this is my first period since then....

Your baby looks so alret very cute.....]]> Thu, 21 Sep 2006 11:55:50 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3818&PID=73083&title=ummm-its-back#73083 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3818&PID=73081&title=ummm-its-back#73081 Author: EthansMummy

How long ago did you give birth??? I think it can be different for everybody. Just depends on your body. I stopped bleeding after two weeks and they say it takes 4-6 weeks.

I thought the sizes (reg & super) refer to the flow of your period whether it is really heavy or lighter not the size of your fufu. I may be wrong here but that is what i thought. ]]> Thu, 21 Sep 2006 11:47:10 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3818&PID=73081&title=ummm-its-back#73081 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3818&PID=73075&title=ummm-its-back#73075 Author: Deez
