Super tired!!! I'm 4 months postpartum with number 2 and got absolutely slammed with exhaustion this afternoon in a way that only used to happen to me in early pregnancy but took a test this afternoon and it was negative. I have some slight cramping. Is this my period trying to come back? I thought I had my period a few times but ended up just being sone "breakthrough bleeding" according to my midwife, whatever that is 😂 Just wondering if anyone else experienced this freight train of exhaustion in the afternoon before their real period came back. I'm exclusively breastfeeding, also. Thanks!

That's what happened to me as well. I am exclusively bfing my son and my period came back at 3 months pp. I had a lot of cramping, back pain, exhaustion, etc for like a month leading up until I finally got my period back. It sounds like that's what happening to you! It may take another few weeks for it to actually show up but all of the cramps and tiredness is just your body prepping for it.
