How long does it take to start your period after giving birth?

Answer 1

If you are breast feeding you may not have a period until after you have finished breast feeding and your milk has dried up.If you aren't breast feeding then depending on how quickly your hormone levels return to normal usually 2-6 months

AnswerIt took me about 6 weeks. If you go for longer than 10 weeks I would call a doctor and see what they think. You can also get pregnant again before even getting a period so use protection if you don't want to get pregnant that soon. AnswerThis varies, each female is different, each pregnancy is different. After you have your after birth period. It can average from 4 to 8 weeks before you start again. Your body needs to adjust to all the major changes it has gone thru. Also, hormones play a big part in all this. TALK to your DOCTOR. It is very important to let your physican know. If he/she does not listen, do not give up be persistant or just get a second opinion.

Answer 2

It depends. If you are brestfeeding then you are likely not to get your period until you stop brestfeeding. This also helps with child spaceing as it is harder to get pregnant while brestfeeding and of corse brestfeeding is a lot more helthy for you and your baby.

If you are bottle feeding you should get your period back pretty soon. Most get it back in about 2 months some a little longer some sooner.

If you go a long time without a period and are not brestfeeding I would contact my doctor.

AnswerIt depends on if you are nursing after you give birth. If you are nursing, you may not get a period at all until you are finished nursing. Every body is different. If you are not nursing, you could get your period in 2-3 months.

Answer 3

As with many things, it depends. If the baby is fully breast-fed with no supplementary bottles the periods may not return for months. sometimes they return a month after the baby is bornn. And every doctor has seen a woman who was pregnant again at her post-natal check before ever having aperiod. If you are having sex and don't want to have another baby (yet) use contraception.

Answer 4

you start to bleed almost immediatly after having your baby it can be quite heavy and lasts for a couple of weeks or so
