Still breastfeeding my first one and my periods havent come back properly. People say u cant get pregnant while feeding but im confused if thats actually true. anyone knows the real reason behind this?
Our elders always said that as long as the child is drinking mother's milk, the body stays warm and doesn't prepare for another baby. It's nature's way of giving the mother's body rest. But in today's times, things are different, so do speak to your doctor if you want to avoid another pregnancy so soon.
Yaar, don't rely on this myth! Yes, breastfeeding delays your period because of prolactin, but you never know when your first ovulation will happen. Don't stress too much about it, but definitely use protection if you aren't ready for baby number two yet!
In our family, elders say that feeding the baby prevents next pregnancy for at least six months. While the hormonal delay is real, my doctor clearly warned me that it is not a foolproof method. It is always better to trust medical advice and use proper protection rather than depending only on lactation.
Mere ghar pe sab bolte hain ki dhoodh pilane se jaldi pregnancy nahi hoti. Yeh hormonal badlav ki wajah se hota hai, par bilkul bharosa mat karna behan. Bahut se logon ko dhoodh pilate pilate hi dusra bachha thahar jata hai, isliye savdhaan raho.
It's because breastfeeding releases a hormone called prolactin which naturally stops ovulation! But please don't rely on it 100% as a family planning method because you can still get pregnant. I know so many moms who got a surprise second baby this way! 😉
Actually, nursing suppresses the hormones that trigger ovulation, but it's not a reliable contraceptive. While breastfeeding, it's also important to focus on a low-glycemic, nutritious diet to recover your body's strength, especially if you had sugar issues like me. Do consult your doctor for safe family planning options.
This is such an interesting biological thing! I'm planning my first pregnancy and reading about how the body manages all these hormones is amazing. But yes, from what I've heard, it's definitely not a guaranteed natural birth control, so better safe than sorry!
