How long after you gave birth did you start your first period?

Question

I had my baby 5 weeks ago.

Answer 1

Are you breastfeeding?
For moms who are breastfeeding, you get the added bonus of a longer vacation from having periods? Aunt Flow may not return the entire time you are nursing for some women! For others, it will come back when baby begins to space out feedings some or starts solids.

After my first, my period returned 10 mos pp.
After my second, my period returned 9.5 mos pp.
After my third, my period didn't return until something like 16 mos pp!!!!!

All exclusively breastfed for the first 6 months, then started solids and continued breastfeeding well beyond their first birthdays.

Answer 2

I think it was 3-4 months, but you bleed for about 6 weeks after I think, I can't quite remember, I had a baby over 16 years ago!

Answer 3

About 6 1/2 months..I was breastfeeding.

Answer 4

Mine started about 7 months after. I ws breastfeeding, and sometimes it takes a little longer. I weaned at 7 months, so that's when it came back

Answer 5

I really am not too sure- about 6 weeks after I had her I think my Dr. put me back on birth control to regulate- so I think it was closer to about 2 months.

Answer 6

I got mine like the month after I had my baby. It was insane, lol... 9 months without having a period was great!!

Answer 7

like 2 months

Answer 8

5 months after my baby was born, but it's different for every woman. I got it so late because I am breastfeeding.

Answer 9

The next month

Answer 10

I believe if you are breastfeeding it takes longer. And may not happen til after you are finished breastfeeding. Talk to your Doctor at next check, it varys from person to person.
