Question
So, I had a very light period when my baby was 7 weeks old. Now she is 14 weeks old and I haven't had one. Should I be worried?

Answer
Are you breastfeeding exclusivly? if you are, you won't likely have another one for a while. If you are not, then you should take a pregnancy test and be very careful. Breastfeeding does not stop you from ovulating all the time though. So always be careful.
