First period after birth

I got my period only 5 weeks after birth and I'm devastated. My supply has dropped. I thought id have months before this would happen. Not needing advice...just really sad.

Good evening Molly, I totally relate. The exact same thing happened to me. I’ve had painful period since 14 years old, but for the first time of my life I didn’t felt them arrived. That’s the only consolation I had for having them back so early… Good luck girl, I know it sucks.

How do you know your supply has dropped? If it's just because your boobs don't feel as full as before then that could just be because your body takes a while to figure out supply and demand. They might feel less full for a bit and then fluctuate until your body has figured it all out

@Hazel i pump as well as breastfeed...my pump amount has dropped by half. She's also hungry after like an hour of nursing

Ah okay. If she's hungry that soon after feeding then keep feeding her whenever she wants. By feeding more often she's telling your body to produce more milk. So feed lots and eat lots of oats and you should start producing more 🤞
