r/PostpartumSupport

I am five months postpartum after a C-section, my baby is breast-fed both from the boob and from bottles. I still have not gotten my period so I’m just curious what did everybody else get their period back? I’ve heard so many different stories of people saying they didn’t get their period till they stopped breast-feeding or that they got it back right away. Just curious. At what point should I take a pregnancy test?

I just want to feel less alone

I’ve always had big boobs (36 DD) which i felt made me look larger than i really was. I’ve always wanted a breast reduction but wanted to wait until after I had kids. Now that I am 3 weeks PP and breastfeeding my boobs are legit like a 38H and it’s making me so depressed. Im not even that upset about my weight gain (220 lbs from 160) .. I just do not know how to dress with these huge boobs and it’s really messing with my self esteem

I love being able to breastfeed but I’m struggling so much with these new boobs & with the summer around the corner I feel like I’m not going to ever leave my house

I am FTM and 7 days pp. I had my baby with cs and I want to breastfeed my baby but no matter how hard I try I am not getting milk supply . She latches on my breast but there is no milk at all and she is hungry. I do feed her formula as I don’t want to starve her. But, how can I increase my milk ? Please help .

Hi everyone

I’m so happy to have found this community! I am a FTM and 5 weeks post c-section and wow, recovery has been mentally and physically tough.

I was specifically wondering if anyone has experienced immense lower back pain? I know my core muscles are pretty much nonexistent and the hunching to nurse isn’t helping, but the pain is almost unbearable. I have a belly binder to help with support and just ordered a nursery chair out of desperation, lol.

Has anyone experienced this? Any advice welcome!

Thank you ❣️
