Right after you give birth and up to 6 weeks you bleed what is called lochia...its extra fluids, tissue and blood that your body needed for pregnancy...and your capillaries in your uterus are still open and you will bleed from that. When lochia stops, you will get your real period (usually a couple of weeks, or even up to a month after lochia has stopped). For me I bled lochia for about 5 weeks and then a week and a half later I got my real period. Yes it is a lot of bleeding, but that is a part of having a baby!

You don't get what is called "your period" but you will bleed for a length of time. Vaginal - about 6 weeks, C-Section - about 3-4 weeks. If you breastfeed for the first 6 months without supplementing anything else, your period most likely will not return until you do supplement. However, there are exceptions, so always ask your practitioner if you have bleeding. But even though you may not be having your period, you can still get pregnant. So if you are breastfeeding, take the birth control, Errin, a non-hormonal form that will not affect breast milk production. Hope this helps!

I had a little one a month in the past. I additionally had a midwife. I obtained caught at 5cm with contractions a million after the opposite and I could not take it anymore. I desired an epidural, which intended that I was once a switch of care. My midwives stayed with me the entire time despite the fact that, and feature performed the publish-start visits as good. I had two epidurals, neither of which labored (and the healthcare professional had no suggestion why), so I had a spinal block, or some thing it's that they provide you if in case you have a c-segment, however now not as powerful. It was once meant to final four hours, however handiest lasted one. I then needed to beg them to provide me a few morphine (which failed to do a lot). So well-nigh what I'm pronouncing, is discover out in case your midwife has health center privileges. I had my daughter 12:19am Sunday morning and obtained out Monday afternoon, however I might have left prior, or stayed longer.

You may experience bleeding for a couple weeks after birth. They DO consider this your period, but you will not return to a normal period until about 6-8 weeks later.

If you are not breatfeeding, your menstual period will start 4-9 weeks after the birth. If you are breastfeeding menstruation may not start again for months or not until you stop breastfeeding altogether. But its different for everybody.
