Today LO is 6 weeks. Yesterday my period returned. It's the heaviest blood flow I've ever had. Also the worst cramps. Some rival early labor pains. It's hard to take care of a LO when I just want to crawl in bed with a heating blanket.
@purplewriter I'm so sorry! I had the same thing happened after DD was born with my period, and then I got an IUD put in a few weeks later and had cramps and bleeding all over again.
My FFFC is I ate almost a whole tub of cookies yesterday, and my excuse to H was that I need to keep my calories up for pumping. In reality, I just wanted to eat the damn cookies
My confession is that, after dropping almost half the weight I gained during the pregnancy by the time I got home from the hospital, I'm back up to only about 10 pounds below my birth weight at almost 8 weeks postpartum. I'm beginning to feel like all that nursing = weight loss stuff is LLL propaganda. I need to get my ass to the gym.

Some people actually hold on to weight until they are done BFing, not everyone loses
@Spicyweiner Yeah, I've seen that mentioned, and I'm afraid that might be what's going on. The next person who mentions weight loss to me as a perk of BFing is getting a death glare.
