Periods after pregnancy

First-time-mum with what's probably a dumb question... but I want to improve my knowledge before I ask my GP or HV, so that I hopefully won't come across as totally clueless!

DD is 12 weeks, I'm not BF and my period came back super promptly - almost exactly 6 weeks after birth, lasted the normal length, etc. But I haven't had a period since. Pre-pregnancy I had a really regular 24-day cycle, basically since the age of 14, so I kind of was expecting things just to click back into place.

I've really felt like I'm about to get my period for a couple of weeks (sore breasts, a bit bloated... a bit moody!), but it hasn't appeared!

I guess I'm just looking for reassurance that this is normal and I shouldn't be bothered about it ;)

Mine was 11.5 weeks. I was the same and thought I wasn't going to get one, I was going to go doc at 3 months if it hasn't arrived. X
