Period after baby

Becky~ YW and np- unfortunately it was recently LOL As for the exercise- she told me no lifting more than 10-15lbs and I was allowed to walk, but no more than a mile to 20 minutes straight at one time until my 6 week pp appt. I've taken light strolls and gone to the store just to get out and move about, but I haven't over done it and I have to admit I feel pretty good. My incision healed very nicely and I didn't have anything more than steri strips. I was also cleared at my first check up  (10 days) to drive as long as I felt I could completely mash the brake and move from gas to brake quickly without any severe pain. I'm so looking forward to that April 8th appt so I can get to shedding these last lbs. I'm still sitting at 198, which means I've dropped 23 of the 37 I put on. 14 left to shed for pre-preg weight, but I would so love to get down to around 150 again. :)

Kerri,
thank you, you are truly so awesome getting on here and supporting us who haven't even had the babbas yet. Well done on your weight loss so far post baby  - I'm sure I'll be asking about that in a couple of months too.

I thought it was 6 weeks, though it's good to hear that you're allowed to get out to walk . I like being mentally prepared,

thanks again,
Becky x

No problem at all, Becky! Believe me- I have free time being a SAHM and all, so there are some times this board helps to keep me sane :) (although I'm not quite sure I'm completely sane to begin with HAHAHA!) I at least feel like I get a little bit of adult interaction ;)  Otherwise it's just me and baby boo and the other munchkins...oh and that guy I call my hubby lol...he jumps in the picture every once in awhile too :)  NAH! I love him, but sometimes there is nothing like having a discussion with other ladies who have been there or are waiting to be there :)

Thanks hun!!

I bleed for 4 days, then didnt get my period for 15 weeks after. Good luck! 

Bled for 2 weeks, stopped for a week, bled for a week, then didn't get my period until I stopped nursing at about 3 1/2 months.

I spotted for 3 weeks on and off then nothing till baby was 6 months! Had my first period last month. Waiting for this month.
My first two I bled for a week and a week and a half then the following month I was right back on track again!
My first two I delivered natrally and my third I had by c section!

Depends if you're nursing.  With my first pregnancy I had a c-section so the bleeding afterwards was pretty minimal after a few days.  Then I didn't have a period again until I stopped nursing my daughter at 9 months.
