You know that makes me sick! I am sooo jealous - 19 months
HMM!!
I breastfed both mine and with Katelyn born 27/40 by emergency
c/s I began menstruatin 5 weeks after her birth. I put this down to
the fact that my body did not recognise having a baby - it was more that
it lost a baby - so to speak.
Then when I had George born 42/40 I had a traumatic birth and an
emergency c/s (forced upon me for no good reason!) after 24 hours
labour. Still I bled for 7 weeks after birth and then at 81/2 weeks
I began menstruating. I breastfed him too. (Both early onsets
started regular menstrual cycles)
I put it down to trauma and stressful birth - totally stuffed up the
hormone levels etc etc..
Anyone else have any ideas?
Anyone else know of it starting so soon after birth?

Menstruation
hi macha
years ago, with a group of La Leche League
mums we had a "mine is bigger than yours" sort of rave about who had gone
the longest before menstruating post birth -All of us were breastfeeding
toddlers or older. I almost "won" -I varied with each baby from fourteen
months at the earliest to 19 months which happened while I was tandem
nursing.Hormonal levels depend on the baby's sucking patterns.I had
bubs who sucked through the night (not a problem though -after about 3
months they found their own tucker at night, without disturbing
me).
Why not check it out on the La Leche
League site or ask at ABA for actual research type info? Might be an
interesting forum question!!! Drop it in on somewhere like www.essentialbaby.com.au - and
see if anyone is ACTUALLY breastfeeding!!
