Late period

in Babies: 3 - 6 Months
I've never posted before & I'm not sure where would be best to post this but since I had my son I've had one period which was at the beginning of last month the one I assumed would also be around the first of the month has yet to show up. I've been feeling sick a lot like I did when I was pregnant. I've taken a test but it was negative. Is this normal?

    My periods after baby took a long time to regulate. It would feel like it was coming, like I would get cramps and PMS symptoms, but no period. It took nearly a year for it to even out after my first child and nearly five months postpartum with my second it's still not regular. If you still don't get a period after a few weeks, you could call your doctor and see what they say.

    My son is 6 months this week (time to move up in boards it looks like...) and I haven't had my period yet.  I'm certainly not missing it :) but I'm exclusively breastfeeding still, so I don't expect to see it for a bit.  I wouldn't be too worried yet, as it's probably just your body trying to get back to normal and you won't be regular for a bit, but I'd take a second pregnancy test in a few days just to be sure.

    With my first baby I didnt get my period until she was about 8 months old and then it was very irregular for about 6 months or so afterwards...and my periods have always been clockwork so this was not normal for me. It could be typical post-partum pregnancy return or of course positive pregnancy. Id wait a week or two and take another test. if youre really concerned, ask your dr for a blood test.

    Thanks everyone. You're probably right I just didn't know how long it could be in between periods. I just wish it would hurry up and get back on track!

    Yes it's normal. I've had three periods since having DS and none of them have been regular. It can take up to a year to regulate your cycles after having a baby. 

    As for the sick feeling, it could be a number of different things, including serious things, so if it gets really bad, call your doctor.
