I'm five weeks post birth today and I'm pretty sure I started my period yesterday. The bleeding from the birth was just about gone and then suddenly I got lots of fresh new blood (sorry tmi) but no pain, no fever, no bad smell... Could it just be my period and should I thank my lucky stars DH pulled out last week? LOL

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

My friend went straight back into periods the month after giving birth so its possible. I didn't have a period until a year after I stopped breastfeeding so its just different for different people.

Mine didn't come back for 19 months this time I think because I'm still breastfeeding at night

I got a period after about 10 weeks, and I was 100 per cent breastfeeding my son. It varies so much between women though.
