I think it was around then for me, but then I got put on the pill and didn’t have a period for 2 years so I can’t quite remember, sorry!

It was longer for me but I was breast feeding. Sounds about right if you’re not.

I had my first period 6 weeks post partum and it was horrifically heavy. Had another one since and it was normal. I seem to have gone back to my normal 30 day cycle. I’m 14 weeks pp.
