Is this my first postpartum period or something else? Need the advice of other mothers?

With my first child I had what I would consider a normal period when he was 6 months old as my first postpartum period. Monday, for a stretch of a few hours, I had light red/pinkish very stretchy discharge around my cervix. In case anyone is wondering why I was checking, I just started charting for natural family planning. Trying to avoid a pregnancy, but stay withing the guidelines of my religion. The discharge didn’t spot my underwear and only came out a little after I checked. It was similar to egg white cervical mucus, but light red/pink. I thought I would be starting a period, but it went away after a few hours. (no more than 8) I have been cramping for the past 3 weeks so that’s not really a good indicator of anything. Tuesday I have changed to a slightly stretchy white creamy mucus.

So my question is was this my first postpartum period or just my body gearing up for a period?

And no I did not experience anything like this with my first so I honestly have no idea what to make of it. Any help is appreciated.
Forgot to add that my baby is exclusively breastfed, eats every 1 1/2 hours during the day, is 19 weeks old, and sleeps 10 hours at night.
Pregnant Slut- You obviously don’t know much about breastfeeding. 6 months isn’t a long time. Some women don’t get a period until they completely wean their child. 6 months is considered the normal return of the menstrual cycle while breastfeeding.
No I’m not learning from a teacher. I’m charting BBT, mucus, and cycle. I’m positive I didn’t cut myself. I bite my nails so I never have long nails. Usually mine are too short if anything,

Is it about that TIME?

O.k. here’s the deal, I am now 35 weeks and 3 days pregnant. Dilated 1 centimeter the last time my dr. checked; In this pregnancy I have had preterm labor 4 times since January. I am currently lounging and have been ever since my first preterm labor “scare.” Now here is the thing ever since the complications with my second child I have been High risk. Lately I have been nesting alot and i have also had alot of fatigue and been very tired not to mention an increase in vaginal discharge and contractions. Last night I woke up only to feel my panties were damp (I wondered if it was sweat or if my water had broken or something but im not sure because i had the a/c on 65 degrees last night) Then when I got out of the bed I felt immediate cramping with pain in my lower back, with contractions, and this has not stopped yet.. I am not really sure what is going on and my next dr. appointment is not until the 29 next week.. anybody have any ideas or help??? I currently have 2 children both of which are girls. My oldest is 2yrs and 5 months and my youngest is 1yr and 4 months. With my second pregnancy I experienced preterm labor three times before actually going into labor (which lasted 5 hours) I had gone into labor so fast that the hospital couldn’t give me epidural.. My youngest child was born natural and weighed in at 7lbs 14oz….

How do I tell my 4 year old that I’m pregnant?

I am 24 weeks pregnant, and although I’m showing (not a lot, but enough for others to notice), I still haven’t told my son. I know that part of him will be excited, but I just worry about him too.
His dad and I separated shortly after he was born, and are now divorced and his dad has nothing to do with him.
The guy I was dating (who is the father of the child that I’m pregnant with now) was absolutely wonderful to my son. But he broke up with me when I was 2 months pregnant, and hasn’t really been a part of the pregnancy.
My son has adjusted to a lot here recently, with 1.) my boyfriend no longer being in our lives (which he says he wants to be a part of this baby’s life when it is born, but is doing nothing during the pregnancy, we don’t talk or have contact, so if he comes back around I know it will spark questions with my 4 year old). It’s hard enough trying to explain a what breaking up is to a 4 year. 2.) His aunt just moved away for school/work (she was/is a VERY big part of his life, and he is adjusting to her not being here; 3.) He’s starting preschool in a couple weeks. Just a lot of life changes in a short period of time for a little boy.
I also plan to take my son to a big brother/big sister class…but not until November since I’m not due until the end of Dec/beginning of Jan. I know how 15 minutes can be an eternity to a child, let alone 3 months.
I want him to feel included and a part of all this. I want him to be proud and happy that he is going to be a big brother.

I would appreciate any suggestions you have in ways that I could tell him the news.

My mom had to me to just wait until he asks about my growing belly, since it would be his natural curiosity sparking the question. That way I would know he wants to talk about it rather than just initiating the conversation.
I just wanted to have a back up plan unless he doesn’t ask. I didn’t want to wait too long to tell him, after all I’m already 6 months.

Thanks in advance!

i have a 6 day old baby girl…?

and after my waters being broken for 2 days to be left to see if i went into labour on my own i was induced.. well they tried.. i was given a pesseri to try and get things started but after 5 hours i noticed a little pale green staning of the waters on my st.. so i was taken onto delivery and where they put me on the hormone drip syntocin, i was on this for about 8 hours, i was contracting 4 -5 in 10 mins but no change and wasnt dilating so my baby came by c-sec..
i have had 3 natural births so i am aware of what that is like but this was my first c-sec. i am b/f my baby as i feel it is the best start but also because i do feel a little cheated and i feel that if i didnt that i would poss suffer from PND.. having a c-sec was not something i enterd into lightly as the baby was absolutely fine and showing no signs of distress. my partner has been fantastic with doing things for me because obviously i am out of action for up to 6 weeks so i struggle to do simple things like stand for too long to cook dinner or take the washing out the machine and hang it out.. just silly simple things even making a cuppa with the kettle.. so he has been helping out loads which i am soo greatful for. i also sufferd badly with SPD in my pregnancy and over the festive season he also helped out alot as he is still doing now.. i am starting to feel now that may be he is resenting helping out with the older kids and everything else..i am slowly doing things like pulling the washing from the machine, he will take the basket to the table where i am able to stand and hang it out on the airer, and i am doing little things but taking it really easy..

i worry about him though he isnt very good at showing his emotions and i worry that maybe he may be hindering feelings for having to do everything..

my baby is 6 days old but i can only do so much as i am still also suffering with a little spd so i am still a little slow… what can i do to make it easier for him so he doesnt have to do so much?
