Period After Delivery Posted: 09-08-06 19:34pm
Does anyone know when you start you actual
period after pregnany? Is it true that it
is about 6 weeks after delivery?

It depends on the woman. It isn't the
same for everyone.

Your period could return at 6 weeks, or it
could take as long as a few months to
return to normal. It is not unusual for
your body to need a year to adjust - so
your periods may be wonky for awhile. --
or, they could just go right back to
normal.
Even while I breastfed, I got my period.
But my best friend was periodless for more
than a year! I was jealous! ;)
you asked in another thread about
fertility. You will be fertile at any
time after birth - even if your cycle
hasn't come back to normal. Use birth
control at all times unless you expect to
get pregnant.
At your 6 week post partum check up with
your doctor, he will discuss birth control
options for you. If you plan on going on
the pill, this would be a good time to get
that prescription!

When I had my son I breast fed for a
little over 6 weeks...He was born on the
29th of july(2005)..And I think my first
period was in october..--which im not sure
if everyone is the same..So maybe you
should talk with your doctor about
it..They might could give you a better
answer than I can..Lol
