Experience mothers in the house, please I need your candid advice on this serious issue of my wife, though nursing a baby of 10 months plus now, has not seen her period since she put to bed over 10 months. About 3 month after her delivery, we had intimacy and some weeks later, she said she felt as if she was pregant. This early pregnancy got us worried which I even shared on this thread some time past, but based on advices from good people, including from Nairalanders and a Nurse she visited, we were advised to keep the pregnancy. On an occassion, I had to ask her how was she feeling with the baby, thinking that she should be preparing to register for pre-natal, but her response was that she does feel as if there is a baby in her. I immediately asked her to go for a pregnancy test , which she did and came with a negative result. I was shocked bcause I was expecting a positive result. Now she said that on enquiry to know could be the problem and she has not seen her period months after putting to bed, she was told or counseled by the Doctor that delayed menstrual period is normal in some women, particularly nursing mothers who are breasfeeding. This situation worries me and I need to know from experienced mothers in the house what could be the likely cause of the delayed menses and if it possible for her to take in without her period. What could be the solution to this? I need answers seriously, to enable me get adequate solution for it. Thanks

Consult your doctor, simple.

My cousin didn't see hers till after a yr *even for her second kid*
I healed too fast, saw mine after 6weeks
I was jubilating it won't come till after a yr but I was so wrong
It pained me ehn

And yes its possible she takes in
In my cousins case, she was breastfeeding, not seen her period after 12mnths and she took in.
So this is what I witnessed, very possible

The doctor already told you,so why are you still worried?You wan score another one sharp sharp?
Delay in seeing the period after childbirth is common especially if the mother is breas.tfeeding.It could take up to a year in some.
Yes,pregnancy is possible without seeing your period because she can still ovulate and that is why it is advised that a nursing mother should also be on a family planning method instead of assuming that she can't be pregnant because she is nursing.

Mine comes after weaning my baby.

Some goes to 3 years sef.....very common and normal....

Yes it is very possible and easy to take in because you don't know when you ovulating;So i suggest you redraw for now until you both decide when you want a second baby.

False alarm

.

She is pregnant again!!!

well delayed menses after child birth is normal in some women depending on the body type and how frequent she breastfeed the baby.

but that does not overule the fact that she can get pregnant even without the presence of menstrual flow. so to be on a safer side she should go for family planning/child spacing or always make use of C/D for fear of any side effect until both of u are ready for another baby.

@op u av turned nairaland to LUTH or UCH bah? No problem sha tell ur wife to go for test, u av infected her wit STD due to ur carelessness

,

somebody call 911

Lucky you. There is no excuse again for her to deny you sex.

please visit an experienced doctore...May God guides u

Right question at the wrong place!......please my dear go and meet a Gynaecologist!

Small time now people will start typing in their Phone number/email address for their GNLD,Swissguard,Tianshi,and Edmark product!

Pls run out of this thread now before the doors are locked!

There 's nothing to worry about since your wife is still brea!st feeding.
I'm sure her menstruation will normalize after she has weaned her baby.
However, if this persists after weaning, consult your gyneacologist.

Doctor in da auz..........

Consult your doctor, nairaland isn't the place to solicit for such advice

10 months is a long time.

There are women who even conceive 3 months after giving birth.

Pay your Gynae a visit.

Wud av commented buh am nt a woman...

Its called lactational amenorrhea. No need to worry , her menses will resume soon.Some use it as a form of contraception but the failure rate is high. Please take active steps towards prevention of pregnancy if you don't intend to have a baby soon.

HOW DO YOU KNOW

GEJ should be held responsible for the inability to see the period!

Hope she's not taking birth control pills ?
