Don't worry every woman's body is different.


And even for the same mother, every pregnancy is different.

:celebrate: Agree with duriz! :celebrate:

No unnecessary cause for alarm, catang. :snuggles:
Or a need to visit the gynae just for this. I too didn't
have menses for a year! In fact, i didn't miss the pads
or the tampons at all.

FREEDOM! :lol:

i had freedom of 17mths. it only came bk when i stopped wk and hence i stopped pumping my milk at work. i cried when menses came bk cos no more freedom plus i was scared my milk may soon dry up. heng, it didn't. :love:

I nursed by boys continuously on demand 24-7 (no longer than 2 - 3 hours between feeds, sometimes more frequently, no supplements of water of formula, no bottles etc.) But my menses still returned after 5 months for both

I was so depressed...but the good thing is that the menses is a lot shorter and lighter than pre-pregnancy. and cramping is not as severe either.

Thankfully it didn't dry up since you already made the decision to stay home. :hugs:

As for the freedom, that's why the myth that breastfeeding moms can't
get pregnant is untrue. :politebleah: A close friend of mine conceived
her #2 and #3 baby on the 4th month.. :faint:

I joked with her that she's too solid for her husband to resist. :evil:
After confinement period over nia... ATTACK!!! :laugh:

She just :roll:!

She doesn't drink less... that's the thing. :love:

She drinks the same even though already on solids... lotsa solids. :evil:
Her milk is taken slightly after her meals.

24hr-mum:

u pumped 3hrly at wk?

Yes, i try to do it as timely as 3 hourly... as much as possible. *pant*
Or else, my boobs wud be damn engorged! It is very painful!
And rock hard! If i am late expressing by the time the cycle comes
in, my breast pads would be overloaded and my top would start
showing leak stains... when it leaked, it hurt!

It is convenient for me as i had my own office. Only the sounds are a bit distracting. :lol:
I was using the Medela electric. It's the best invention a bf-ing mommy can have.
Expensive... but worth every penny.

24hr-mum:

I was just one of the many who just had too much.
It's like a running tap! :faint:

24hr-mum:

u stored using what? i didnt like the hassle of transfering the milk from bags to bottles, so i bought more bottles to store but takes up space

I used bottles given & sterilized by the hospital. I had additional freezer space as well.

I had to ask a friend how she made hers stop eventually as i found it a hassle to still
express when DD1 no longer wants to drink it directly... even nights she'd just ask for
bottle. So, i concentrated on trying to get it to dry up... boy... it wasn't an easy feat... :faint:

So that i could then concentrate the nights for the daddy.

It was good to say bye-bye to jet sprays during game nights.. :love:

LKVM:

Yes its surely a myth but ur friend surely ummmm :roll:

Yes, LKVM. I :laugh: at her and she in turn :roll: at me. :rotflmao:

So, while she breastfed one till beyond two years... another was
suckling at her breast. :faint: I see her oso very siong. :snuggles:

That's why my mom says this time, i must barricade properly...
especially since this time i didn't put on too much weight...
More dangerous for me. :lol: She says dowan anymore
oredi lah.. time to take care of yourself. :love:

Aawww mumsie... :snuggles:

Guess what she's trying to tell hubs is \"hands off!\" :nunchuk:

The \"husbands\" like to use this myth to get the wife in action sooner... :lol:

Eg.. \"Haiyah dear, didn't you know breastfeeding mothers cannot get
pregnant one... you arh...\" :roll: That's what happened to my friend
i guess. Under trance. :rotflmao:
