When did you get your period back after baby arrived? I’m 5 months pp now and pumping and I feel like I’m getting it. Not looking forward to that. Also did you see a dip in your supply because of this? I’m a just enougher and want to provide milk for as long as I can

I never got my period back and then when my baby was 18 months my milk suddenly dried out and it turned out I was pregnant again :) I nursed a lot up until that point.

funny

I got my period back at 8 months postpartum. My supply may have dipped a little bit but my daughter was eating less anyway since she was loving solids so it wasn’t an issue. Still breastfeeding at 14 months although it’s just first thing in the morning and before bed.

9 months postpartum with both my kids. Yes about the dip in supply. Just work to build it back up, but the dip is real. Supplement with formula and try not to be hard on yourself. It may come back, it may not like you want it too. But either way, you are doing great.
I had more milk with #1 and was a just enougher, maybe even a bit less with #2. Was hard to wrap my head around. But I’m here, nursing my 11+ month old baby once a day and so proud I’ve made it this far.

With my first I didnt until I stopped breastfeeding around 8 months. With my 2nd I got it at 4 months despite breastfeeding. No impact to supply!

Like 3-4 months after birth, despite EBF. No noticeable dip in supply. All this to say, I was unable to conceive again until I stopped breastfeeding completely

9m with my first (exclusively pumped) and 14m with my second (exclusively nursed). I do experience a dip — I add an extra pump into the day (even if it doesn’t get much) just for the extra stimulation so my body knows milk is still be asked for. The dip is hormone driven and my supply did return to normal every time after period was over.

Its usually 2-3 months after you stop/decrease to breatfeed/baby start taking solids… for me it was 8/9 month as we introduced solids at 6months. Still bf, he is 15now.

I nursed for 13 months and got my period back as soon as I completely stopped nursing.

Month 2 for me. C section and breastfeeding.

I had a first interview last Tuesday with Amazon, which I think went well, although I still haven't heard back 6 days later and then got an OOO annual leave msg and a no response when I chased up the named colleague today.

I found Google and Facebook recruiters to be efficient and TikTok so-so, if not a little slow, but 6 days+ seems poor.

One of my frustrations with myself (writing it out here so I can work on it) is that I will print out something that I need, such as a traffic collision report. I will read it without actually reading it. This results in spending time without actually retaining info. Does this happen to anyone else? I’ve found that I can actually focus when I truly force myself, but often this happens after I’ve discovered an error or an important piece of information that I should have noticed earlier.

Last night I went over to my friends house (she has 2 kids, 2 and 4 yo). She and her husband were asking me about my pregnancy and planning. And were asking what I’ve prepped to date. I’m only 13w2 days so I think it’s way to early for buying stuff, but I did mention we hired a baby nurse for when the baby comes. My friend completely berated me, short of calling me a bad mom already, saying “what is she going to do all day? Don’t you want to bond with your child?”. I’m so upset by this.

Has anyone been successful in negotiating the schedule on a global pregnancy bill? My provider won't bill by visit and split the global cost into four payments all due by the 28th week.

Hey everyone. I found out we are expecting our first child and I’m really nervous. I got into consulting one year ago and I’m up for promotion this year.
