It could be that you are pregnant again. You are certainly displaying the signs of pregnancy. You should either take a home test or go to the doctor and get tested there.  Did you use protection? If not it may be wise to in future to be sure that you are safe.

You can experience all of these symptoms post pregnancy too. Your body has endured a lot in the last nine months, so your hormone levels will be up and down, which will affect your mood and also make you feel nauseous. Your periods do take time to readjust after not having them for so long, so it could be late because your body has not got back to its natural cycle yet.  Have you had periods since having your son in the last three months? You expelled a lot of energy during giving both and your body could still be feeling the strain of this.
