I know everyone is different, but what is the AVERAGE time frame when a non-breastfeeding woman will start her period after giving birth?
I gave birth on April 17th and my bleeding stopped 3 wks after birth on May 7th(my day) and my regular period started on the 25th. But now it’s all crazy sometimes it comes anywhere from the 11th-15th. The plus side is they’re much lighter and shorter
I bled lightly on and off for about 6 weeks after, and then I had about a week of bleeding like a period during the 7th week. After that my periods resumed and came regularly.
Three months for me…then again, I breast fed for a month, so I don’t know if that’s the reason why it didn’t start for three months…
EDIT: Really STUPID to give me a thumbs-down because my period didn’t come for three months! Real mature..
I had major hemmoraging after delivery so I didn’t even really have any post partum bleeding. I wore panty liners for about a week for that just incase. I breastfed for the first week and a half. My period came back around 2 months.
I started about 4 weeks after my post pregnancy bleeding stopped, and thought there was something wrong as it was v.heavy! Everyone is different though so dont panic, Ask your health visitor or Dr if you are worried but your body will sort itself!!
after you bleed straight after giving birth has finished i would say for a woman who has regular periods about 4 weeks, like a usual time between periods.
I got mine 6 weeks after I gave birth.
i had mine 4 days after birth
about 6-10 weeks post-partum
i started and finished by my 6 week check up so like 4-5 weeks
I got mine 3 weeks after delivering..and its been out of whack since..
