The Return Of Your Period

Of those who choose not to breastfeed, approximately 80% of women find their period has returned by ten weeks. Breastfeeding can delay ovulation and menstruation for around 20 weeks or more, however it is not uncommon to find your period returning much sooner or much longer than 20 weeks.

Every woman and her hormone levels are very unique, so it’s difficult to say when a period will recommence after childbirth. Some women find their period will return the very next month following birth and at the other end of the scale, some women wont have menstruated until well after twelve months. I found it to be even longer than this! I breastfed my first born until she was a little over two and then fell pregnant with baby number two. I didn’t get my period until my second born was 20 months, when all overnight feeds had stopped (he liked his boobies).

It is also common to have heavier periods than normal when they do resume, for months on end. Some women find that their first periods after baby are so heavy that they use both pads and tampons due to the flow, but this usually does settle down sometime in the next 12 cycles. If you are concerned, speak to your midwife or obstetrician.

It’s important to note that ovulation and menstruation doesn’t exclusively happen together – you may have your period without ovulation or you may ovulate and THEN get your first period shortly after – so you may not know that you are ovulating yet, which is how some women get caught out falling pregnant by surprise!

I would try a cup w/a straw. That is what Jacob uses. He knew how to suck from a sippy, but he couldnt lift the cup up for the juice to come out. Even now I'll occasionally have him try it, but he still cant do it.

I just bought some cups w/straws from Fry's last week. They are from the 1st years brand. I got Elmo, and plain colored ones. They are reuse/recycle. We just reuse them, and they work great.

Well, today was the day I went to sit in my sons class. He is in Kindergarten and has been acting out. I went thinking he was the main problem...I though he was causing problems and being the trouble maker...I was wrong, and now feel guilty for thinking it.

At first he just sat and kept glancing over at me. He didnt talk much, and just sat still the whole time. As the morning went on he seemed to get more comfortable with me there. He was doing really good....raising his hands, and not speaking out of turn. Once recess came, I really started to get a better idea of what has been going on.

There was a situation were he wanted to join the other boys playing ball, well they didnt want to share the ball with him. He came and told the teacher, and she said to tell them to let him play.....well they still didnt so Steven just kept running along with the kids trying to  catch the ball. After a few minutes another boy came along and let him play with a football instead.

Almost the same thing happened in class. A boy wouldnt let Steven see a book. After he was done instead of letting Steven see it, he gave it to another kid. Steven started to cry, and the teacher gave the book back to Steven......What I saw was Steven being shy, and insecure, and unable to express himself. Which then leads to him eventually acting out. He seems to have a hard time making friends and since he is so much more quiet thatn the other boys they seem to push him around.

I am still waiting for the call back from the psychologist and hopefully I can learn some techniques to help Steven. I have also looked in the city parks and rec for Karate classes. I hope that can help with his insecurities and confidence. I know we have a long road ahead of us, but I really see us improving this issue. I just hope we can get this solved before it grows into a bigger problem.

Thank you for the encouraging words. I know if I stay on top of this he will start to improve his behavior.

I just got a photo album book from kodak....I didnt think it was that great. I had a free coupon so all I had to pay was shipping, which was around 6 or so $$. It originally would have cost almost $40, and for the quality I would have been very upset. You cant complain for $6, but if I had payed regular price I would have been very upset. The quality of the pictures was pretty poor.

If I knew for sure I could get a good quality picture somewhere else I would definetly order one again. They're so cute. Its like having a little story book featuring your FAMILY!!
