Pregnancy: Altough sometimes, breast feeding might work as a contraceptive, in other cases women can still get pregnant. Check your pregnancy test.

Expected: Even though you are still breast feeding your period may come few months after giving birth and certainly in the woman that breast feeds takes longer but around this time it can be expected.You may experience some cramps and discomfort before your period starts as usual. Keep track of your symptoms and if you are in doubt of possible pregnancy schedule a visit with your gyn provider.
