hi! i am 3month postpartum and experiencing this yellow discharge while im breastfeeding is this normal? or signs of pregnancy?

Question

Aside from pregnancy, why would you have menstration 11 weeks post partum, and not again (now 20 weeks post partum)? Not breastfeeding.

Answer 1

Discharge: The discharge may be normal but it msy be due to an infection..See your doctor for a culture to fule out infection.

Answer 2

Yes: During breastfeeding, you can use progesterone-only birth control pills. You should avoid estrogen containing pills because they can decrease your milk supply. Other Progesterone only forms of contraception that are useful postpartum are depo-provera, the Implanon implant, and the levonorgesterol iud.

Answer 3

No: Don't take any with estrogen as they may decrease your milk supply. Take the minipill or other progesterone-only methods.

Answer 4

Yes: You will need to specifically ask for Progesterone only birth control pills sometimes called the minipill. Other birth control pills contain Progesterone and estrogen which can decrease your milk supply by about 30%.

Answer 5

Up to 6 months: Pp depression can present anywhere from immediately following birth, up to 6 months after. If at any time you feel symptoms of depressed mood, talk with your doctor. There are treatments available, and if caught early enough, medication may not be necessary.

Answer 6

Anytime in first yr: Postpartum depression can present anytime in the first year. It is most common to begin within the first 3 to 4 months. However it can begin later in the first year, particularly with changes like abruptly stopping nursing, beginning of birth control pills, etc. If you suspect you may have ppd, contact your dr. And seek help from a mental health specialist with expertise in treating it.

Answer 7

Yes: Mosquitos are attracted to co2. Pregnancy causes women to increase respiration rates, exhaling relatively more co2 than a man. 1 theory, the other, to explain why my wife gets more bites, hormone changes or she's just sweeter.

Answer 8

No : No mosquitos are attracted to body heat and odor.

Answer 9

ASK your OB: But i would let my aptients do that if you have to ahve a bowel movement, it is better to stay on a stool softener to prevent constiaption but you should call your OB , they may want you to use something else.

Answer 10

Sure: It beats being constipated. I would try MiraLAX (polyethylene glycol) though, seems to work better.

Answer 11

Wait a week: 20 weeks is the normal time to feel fetal movement.

Answer 12

Normal.: Even if your estimation of your gestational age is accurate, it is normal especially for first-time mothers to not feel any quickening until after 20 weeks. This also depends on your weight - more overweight women have delayed first fetal movement perception. In any case, a quick ultrasound or doptones can confirm fetal viability for you.

Answer 13

Not at all unusual: Many women do not feel fetal movement until well after 20 weeks of pregnancy. You can always ask your physician to check for heart tones or do an ultrasound to put your cocern at ease.
