I had a baby 4 months ago. I bled for 8 weeks off and on. after it stopped about 2 weeks later i bled very lightly for like 3 days. then again in 2 weeks the same thing. well, after that a month whent by and I had a regular priod. I was surprised because it was regular but I had barely any cramps and it wasnt as heavy as before when I wasnt a mother. well I know that a haevy flow can become lighter after you have a baby. About a week after my regular period, I started having miner cramps. It came off and on. over the next week and days they got more pianfull. I think Im a few days late for my period because i had the most regular period before. Its not only that. Im also cramping very hard and it hurts so much sometimes. and with the next day it becomes harder, but it still comes off and on. sometimes i feel a little nosiated, and I actualy took a few hpt's which came back negative. so has anyone had anything like this? Is this normal, or what is happening? I mean, I want another baby, but of course this it a little too soon. Im excited that I might be because I love babies. I just need to know, because if Im not then I will take some pain killers.

im kinda in the same boat. i had a baby three months ago, had my regular period, and now im really late. ive been having those awful cramps, thinking im going to have my period and nothing. pregnancy test is neg. i think its all because i was breastfeeding. but well see. just to verify, my cramps had been so bad that i was going to go to the doctor for them.maybe you should get checked out. let me know what happens ok?

My Ob/Gyn said that is possible most women experience harsh cramps, and and awqward cycles. He said it does not mean that you are pregnant, it just means you recently had a baby he said the best thing to do is take pain killers every 4 hours if need be.... he said that if you were pregnant you should have known because when u take a pregnancy test if it comes out negative then I guess your not. But if you still have doubts he says to call your Gyno. Then when the coast is clear just take some pain killers every 4 hours..... I hope it gets better.
