PPP, The First

First postpartum period.

On one hand:
~Ugh. I so wasn't ready for this!

On the other, at least it isn't too awful, or bloaty or crampy.

On one hand:
~I was really hoping to go another 3 or so months before having to deal with. . . all this.

On the other, it'll be nice to be able to track my cycles again.

On one hand:
~Man, I really hate this monthly visitation. M isn't too fond of it either.

On the other, at least we know my body's working properly!

On one hand:
~This'll make my beach vacation next month interesting.

On the other, at least I had supplies on hand.

Here we go. . . .

I, uh, didn't have a period between Justin and Charlotte. And then the last 2 times they came back at 7 months. What gives? Boo to all those women (like my SIL) who never get them back until they wean... like at least a year and a half.

I get my period back at 3 weeks postpartum every time. And the first three months are horrific.

I believe breastfeeding keeping a period at bay is a myth. Especially when i got pregnant exclusively breastfeeding and on birth control.

Mother nature is cruel.
