Posted: 03/22/07 - 10:09 Post subject: Very heavy period & still breast feeding!
I have been brestfeeding my daughter for 11 months now. Up to 4 months ago I wasn't getting my period. Now since Dec. I get them every 6 weeks almost to the day and they are [u]very[/u] heavy with lots of clotting and the heaviness lasts a solid 4 days and then there is nothing! I go through an over night pad in an hour. I can't go out anywhere in fear that I will leak. Has happened...very embarassing! I also breastfed my 12 yr old until she was 16 months and I never started my period until after I finished nursing. I had C-sections with both of my girls, one emerg. and the other planned. Some one please Help!
