How regular were your periods after birth?

[VodkaCranberry2]

Wasn’t sure whether to put in parenting or pregnancy and don’t seem to get many comments on either thread so hopefully it’s okay to post here.

Just wondering how regular/irregular your periods were after birth?

I had a c-section 10 weeks ago and had what I’m sure was my first period since on 21 May, it lasted around 5 days and although it was much heavier than normal it did seem like a period. My cycles used to be between 28-32 days.

I never track my periods, but I looked online and apparently I should be starting my next period around now, but I’ve had no symptoms at all.

Had a little nausea but that’s it and that isn’t my usual symptom. No real cramps or anything like that which I used to get.

Is this normal? What were your periods like after birth? I’m just not really sure what to expect!

Thank you!

Everyone is different, I had a baby in December and have still yet to have a period. I was breastfeeding which affects your periods but stopped at 3 months.
My health visitor said they can be irregular up to 12 months post partum. Also depends if you've gone straight onto birth control.
But yeah if you had a baby 10 weeks ago I wouldn't worry at all if you aren't back in a regular cycle

7 months post birth and period has been regular past 2 months. Are you BF?

Also if you have nausea could there be a chance your pregnant?

Thanks both. @ineedcoffee2345. I am not breastfeeding, my nipples weren’t easy to latch on so I have been exclusively formula feeding. I have taken several tests and all negative including one today at the hospital (was in for gallbladder issues) but I guess it’s too early to test. The nausea has been on and off - last week I had this smell I’ve only ever smelt when pregnant so it did make me wonder, but we have been using condoms.

I would do a test.

Sorry posted to soon. If al showing negative i wouldn't worry. Alot if women never fully get back to regular periods. With dd1 mine took over rr a year

Despite ebf my periods returned every single time when dc were 4 weeks old.
