Why Am I Having Period?
Hi, i am almost 7 months postpartum, i am breastfeeding 4-5 times and baby is on 2 solid meals a day but still has 1-2 feed through the night. Today i started getting stringy red/brown discharge, could this be the start of my first period? Or could it be the start of a second pregnancy? My husband and i have regular, unprotected sex (2+ times a week)
