Periods after giving birth!

I was at school with kids who were 10 months apart in birthdays. Get a test!

Congrats on the little one, and well done on being able to have sex at four weeks

I had my first period around 3 months after giving birth and then about 6 weeks later I realised I hadn't had another one and just put it down to them being irregular after giving birth. It was only a couple of days later that it suddenly dawned on me that I could be pregnant, did a test and I was!

I had post birth bleeding for 3 weeks, then got my first proper period the month after I gave birth. Then I was back on the combined pill from my 6 week check as I wasn't breastfeeding at all, so obviously after that I had withdrawal bleeds instead of proper periods.
So no personal experience but I'd say get a test to be sure

Definitely do a test! On an aside, how long does it usually take for people's periods to return after birth? I can't remember with my first and this time I'm 3 months in without a sign..

My first few periods after giving birth were all over the place took a few months but am finally becoming regular again, but would still advise to test x x x

I don't know if this will be helpful to you, but I got my first one after birth at 5 weeks (I had 1 week of freedom after the post birth bleeding etc). Had our 6 week checkup and immediately went onto the combine pill. They've been regular since taking the pill and went back to normal (aside from being a little heavier than before pregnancy). The pill helped my periods go back to normal, and my body has always responded well to the pill.
Hope things go back to normal for you quickly, the first 6 weeks after birth I felt so shit about my body and couldn't wait to have some form of normality back.
