Period after csection?

Question

Hi,

I had a baby 10 weeks ago. I have not had a period yet. I feel like I am pregnant again- breasts swollen,really tired, but my preg test was neg. I do not have any cervical mucus but I still feel pregnant. Has anyone experienced this?

Answer 1

maybe u should go see the doctor again

Answer 2

I've not had a c-section, but I have had five babies. I don't know what life is like if you aren't nursing, but I got 9-12 months off having a period by breastfeeding with each baby (no pacifier, no bottle--if you are serving all your baby's sucking needs at the breast, it is a real bonus for both of you!) My breasts stayed a full size larger than usual the entire 10 years I was pregnant/nursing. Trust your pregnancy test, and if you don't want to be pregnant yet, take precautions. You are still post partum and probably sleep deprived, so those pregnancy symptoms could be confusing. There is only a 4% chance of conceiving before you have that first period, according to Taking Charge of Your Fertility. If you're nursing and the test is negative, you can be pretty sure you aren't pregnant.

Congratulations on your new baby! :-)

Answer 3

Are you breastfeeding? That will affect the return of your period. if not, you could be exhausted from caring for a newborn! Your breasts can be sore if there is still some milk. It is possible for you to be pregnant without having had a period yet. You have cervical mucous when you are ovulating, not when you are pregnant.

You may want to take another HPT in a couple of days. I think that you should call your OGBYN to make sure that he/she thinks all is normal.

Personally I haven't experience this, but it is normal after a cs to not get your period for a couple of months. It's actually better than after a normal delivery. After a normal delivery you bleed like if you were going to die. I have 3 sisters who all had cs and they all went through what you are going through. The swollen breasts is due to the milk; the tiredness-your body is still recovering from such a traumatic and exhausting experience; and feeling pregnant still-very normal. I felt like that after my first child even almost a year later.

Answer 5

yes i had the same i bled for a while right after the cecrean and the nothing for a while the doc gave me some sort of hormone and i bled like normal and started birth control but there was no way that i was preg again cuz i did not let anyone touch me for a long time after that !! good luck

Answer 6

After my c section, I bled for maybe 6 weeks but not heavy at all. Then I got my period the exact day that I had my last period last year before I got pregnant.

Answer 7

It took almost three whole months for mine to return. I also felt fatigue, which im attribting now to sleepless nights. I think that you should wait another two weeks and if its not back by then, I would call your MD. Did you mention this at your 8 week checkup. I did with my MD and he told me that this is normal and it could take months to come back. Let me tell you though, when it did come, it was like a tsunami. That is one thing no one ever told me, and it was very worrysome beucase I thought i was hemmoraging. I hoep this helped, good luck to you.

Answer 8

Well, first of all you need to make sure you don't get pregant again so soon because your body needs awhile to recuperate (2 back-to-back pregnancies aren't the smartest thing, nor the best for your body). It will take awhile for your period to return. I had 2 c-sections. Are you breastfeeding? Also, you really shouldn't be having sex for awhile, either. Don't rush things! Take it easy.

Answer 9

Yes I had my daughter in the first week of Oct and just got my first period this week. I was worried to but it will come eventually.

Answer 10

Why did your scientific expert supply you anti depressants in case you went to work out him approximately your era? i could suggestion that till you went especially given which you experience low, you do no longer take them! pass and notice yet another scientific expert for a 2d opinion on the two your pills & your bleeding. I had a c-area 4 years in the past, & I bear in concepts my classes being extraordinary. The pill, in time could adjust them. in simple terms make certain you have a 7 day smash between packs for a minimum of three-6 months, till they come back on course. As for the anti-depressants. this is common for women to get the toddler blues after giving beginning, you could experience tearful, ineffective, unconfident & somewhat envious & never beneficial, yet this isn't melancholy, & in time could raise. in case you experience you incredibly are no longer your self, you experience incredibly envious of your new child, &/or you experience suicidal or incredibly un-inspired, then you definately've got post natal melancholy & choose those pills. yet, given the reaction of your final scientific expert i could nonetheless see a diverse one to make optimistic they are the main concepts-blowing pills for you, the main concepts-blowing dosage & to be certain the type you pass approximately upping or reducing the dose to greater healthful.

Answer 11

AFTER I HAD MY C-SECTION I BLED FOR A MONTH STRAIGHT, I STARTED TAKING BIRTH CONTROL PILLS SO MY PERIOD GOT BACK TO NORMAL. BUT I NEVER MISSED ONE LIKE THAT.
