Yes, it is perfectly normal to not have your period when you breastfeed. You could go the entire time you are breastfeeding without ever having a period. Enjoy! However, do NOT think that it means you are not ovulating and cannot get pregnant, you may be and you can, please use some form of contraception that works with breast feeding.

Absolutely normal. You will probably find you will have a period very soon as you have stopped breast feeding. You will need to use contraception even if you are not having periods as you can get pregnant before your periods return.

It can happen, yes. Some woman get their period the very next month after giving birth, some don't get a period for three years. It all depends on the woman, but it's perfectly normal for your period to return after 8 weeks.

I got one normal period after giving birth and then haven't got one since is me cycle still messed up?

You haven't given enough information. I'll try to answer anywayAfter giving birth you will have bloody discharge for up to 1 month. It will slowly get less and less. This is not really a period.Sometime between 6 weeks and 4 months after giving birth most women will begin to have periods again. They should be fairly regular after they resume but may vary by as much as a week earlier or late for several months.If you have had a real period and have stopped getting it there are three main reasons doctors will explore. First, are you breastfeeding? Many women don't have any period at all while they are breastfeeding. Second, is your thyroid normal? Sometimes after pregnancy a woman's thyroid can go haywire. This can be checked with a simple blood test. Finally, are you pregnant again? It is possible to get pregnant as soon as one month after giving birth!

How soon will you get my period after i give birth?

it depends on the person and also whether you breast feed or not. i breastfed both my daughters till they were a year old and i didn't get a period until they were about 10 months old. breastfeeding exclusively can hasten the return of your period. i know people who have gotten pregnant 6 weeks after giving birth, so your body is going to start when it is ready.
