I had a baby about 2 months ago,..I
already had my first period...But now im
waiting for my next one to start and its
already a few days late.
Is it normal for my period to be late like
this??? Im worried I might be pregnant
again.

It can be normal for your cycles to be a
little messed up after having a baby. Are
you using birth control (condoms,
spermicide, etc)?

You can get pregnant right away after you
have a baby. Heck, my sister inlaw's kids
are only 10 months apart! Yikes!!
Breast feeding is not a reliable method of
birth control and no doctor would ever
consider it such. (i know you said you
were bottle feeding, but someone will come
read this who is breast feeding)
your hormone levels can take a year to get
adjusted.

Hun after you have a baby your body takes
a while to go back to normal. Right now
if your breast feeding it could throw it
out of wack. If you think that you are
preggers again you should go ahead and
take a hpt.
