okay, so here's the deal...
I am almost 5 months postpartum, Ebf, we've introduced the bottle a handful of times. I bleed for about the first 2 months after I had ds2, then it stopped. we are very careful when DTD... anyways, I have been so nauseous the last week and a half, mostly after I drink water, i've kind of noticed when I don't drink enough water I feel more nauseous and real hot feeling, i've felt bloated, and achy off and on. tested a couple days ago, negative... whats up with this? if I was pregnant, who it be showing up since i'm experiencing nausea?
thanks mama's

I would agree that if you were pregnant enough to get sick, you would be pregnant enough to turn a test. It could just be hormones. They go crazy trying to adjust to not being pregnant anymore.

Good luck!

This may be hormonal. I swear that I feel like this all of the time. Especially the hot feeling. Your body is still regulating hormones from being pregnant and from nursing at this point. I think if *should* get better around 6 mo pp. (My little is 20 weeks old so I am totally feel similarly to how you feel.)

from like 3-12 months postpartum I am always feeling pregnant... postpartum hormones (especially while breastfeeding) are such a PITA. I've taken 2 preggo tests now since my baby was born (she's about 6 months old). I hope that puts you at ease. The nausea thing too I had recently.. and I found as long as I kept eating I felt better, so smaller meals throughout the day.. oh yeah I feel pregnant.. but I'm not. We're super careful too.
