Are you breastfeeding?

If you’re breastfeeding it can delay your period. I’m 10 1/2 months pp and I haven’t had my period yet

took me 6 weeks :)

I had my C-section on Sept. 27 and my period hasn’t come back yet

Had a c section on the 21st of January, exclusively BF and got my period 7 weeks PP. But my friend who gave birth in 2023 in the same boat didn't get hers until almost a year later. So really varies!

My first period started when my babyboy was 9 weeks and 2 days x

Mines not back yet, had a csec 10th oct xx

I’m combi feeding but it’s mainly formula. She’ll have my breast once or twice during the day but the rest is formula bottles x

I had my little girl 12th January by emergency c section and I'm Formula feeding. I haven't had mine yet either

Can be a month or two. Breastfeeding can delay it. If you exclusively breastfeed it can take up to 6 months. Just be prepared the first period is very heavy.
Oh and your little one is beautiful 😊

I'm combi feeding and mine came back at 19 weeks PP. I was fortunate enough that it wasn't super heavy or painful x

Takes longer if you’re breastfeeding. I didn’t get my first one til 3.5 months post partum x

I also had a c section , January 5th and I just got my period 3 days ago

I got mine at 8 weeks pp from c section while breastfeeding

I had my daughter 18th too! I just finished my first period and I’m breastfeeding! I think everyone is different xx

I bled after 3 months, for only 1 day and it never came back untill I got pregnant again lol so basically I still got pregnant with no period lol 😅 whilst breastfeeding
