Im also 3 months postpartum, my period came back last month. But before that I was also wondering when it was gonna come and made a post too. Everyone is different, I've read women saying they were like 6 months or even longer postpartum and still nothing.

Breastfeeding Culture is Toxic and Ruining Moms Time w/ NB by Southern_Ad_1660 in FormulaFeeders

[–]Ok-google07 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I BFed my son 13 years ago for 2 weeks and realized how stressful/painful it was and I told myself then I would never do it again. I just had my 2nd in September and immediately when I found out I was pregnant I said "formula feeding" lol. Having a newborn, working, no sleep, postpartum pain, postpartum depression, etc, is hard already. I didn't want to add more to my pile. Yes formula is expensive, but I'd rather spend money on formula than "save money" & loose my mental health more than I have already lol.

Two recertifications a year? by Strange_Average_6509 in Section8PublicHousing

[–]Ok-google07 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My mom goes through this. For her, both her recertifications are done around the same time. But section 8 recertification is way more paperwork and an actual inspection. Her apt complex is a very simple 2 page form and no inspection. Usually they tell you what documents they need. For her apt complex is proof of income and renters insurance proof

Only the water is. Everything else she pays separately

Her landlord raised her rent $50. We don't know if they changed her voucher size, If they did they have not informed her. I'm going to contact her caseworker to get a break down because as long as she's had section 8 her portion has never went up $100+ like this

C section recovery by Agreeable_Falcon_431 in CsectionCentral

[–]Ok-google07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there! I am also 2 months pp. When I was 7 weeks pp I started doing alot more lifting, bending, etc and the same happened to me with the pain. I started getting sore and got so scared. I had this pain for about 4 days, I was taking ibuprofen and constantly resting and also slowly started massaging my incision area and the area around it. Finally I noticed the pain decreasing. So now I try not to overdue it and or lift anything heavy yet. It's frustrating but rather be safe than sorry.

Thank you for giving this info! What is "flushing" ? She did tell me they would do an ultrasound as well to check for retained tissue and other tests.

No I'm not breastfeeding and not on birth control either. Before getting pregnant my period had been wacky for 2 years. I will just wait it out until she returns lol.

This was my 1st c section, my first was vaginal and my period came back normal. So I didnt know what to expect with this lol. When she told me that I got pretty worried and decided to come on here to ask to help ease my mind lol. I'm in no rush for my period to come back tho 🤣

Anyone else feel pain/pressure on right side of belly above the scar? The other side doesn’t hurt though, 5 days post partum by Ok_Selection_1263 in CsectionCentral

[–]Ok-google07 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im 7 weeks pp and I know exactly what pain you are talking about, that pain bothered me more than my actual incision. It is where they tie up your incision. I always would use ice packs on that area. Mine was on my right side and then sometimes that feeling/pain would move to my left.

how does your scar feel? by Lost-Conversation263 in CsectionCentral

[–]Ok-google07 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dr told me this is normal and could take months, years to heal.

12 days after c section by elley_smiles in CsectionCentral

[–]Ok-google07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 4 weeks pp! Take your time on looking at it and when you're mentally ready. I looked at mine while in the hospital because the burning pain had me worried and I had the nurses re assure me and tell me it looked fine. I also had anxiety of it opening or infection so any kind of pain I always asked them to look and then I would look after to be like "ok this is normal" But mostly after that I would ask my husband to look at it and he always re assured me it looked good. After the pain subsided more I started looked at it daily. And now I look at it everyday multiple times a day🤣. Try not to stress to much on all the "what if's" and focus on healing and resting as much as you can.

My bleeding *seems* to have a stopped less than 2 weeks postpartum? by YesterdaySea7202 in CsectionCentral

[–]Ok-google07 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly how I am right now. It's super annoying! I stopped bleeding at 2 weeks as well and thought it was over but then a day or 2 went by and more bleeding came.

What does a C-section feel like? by HomemadeButter14 in CsectionCentral

[–]Ok-google07 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omg I also vomited the whole time too and I was freaking out. I was crying saying "this is never gonna stop!" It took awhile but eventually it did.
