Periods after pregnancy.

[Beccy82]

Hi all. Can I ask how long it took you to have your first period after giving birth vaginally please? I had my fourth baby 10 wks 2 days ago lol. Still haven't had a period yet. I'm also bottle feeding if that can make a difference. My other 3 children are older so its been a long time and I cant remember how long I waited after those.
I haven't had my post natal check up (drs have been full) I have it on wednesday, the baby will be 10wks 5days by then. Just wondering if I should mention it or if it's normal. Like I said I cant remember. Thank you.

Why is it when i start wondering about something someone on mn posts my exact query? Spooky.

I am 3 weeks pp and my bleeding had suddenly got redder and looks more like a period. It was getting lighter and now suddenly redder and heavier. Was wondering if it was my sodding period. I wish i coukd stick a cup up there.

I read it is usually 6-8 weeks but i guess it could still be earlier or later.

@fonxey ye that is spooky lol.
I'd say yours sounds like a period but then would u have a period as quickly as 3 wks after? The woman's body is a mystery
