Hi ladies, how long did it take your body to start your first period after having a c section. I'm now 11 weeks since surgery and not had a period yet

About 3 months x

Took me about 5 months!

Breastfeeding & got mine 6 weeks pp

5 weeks and 3 days

5 weeks

With my first, I was breast feeding and didn't get one until 9 months after c section

I’m breastfeeding and got my first period at about 6m

It depends on how you’re feeding your baby ☺️ x

12 weeks pp

Forgot to say I'm bottle feeding

A month after, which is surprising since i have always had irregular periods

Breastfeeding, I think I bled for 5 weeks immediately after. Had a five week rest until mine started appearing monthly. You can still get periods when breastfeeding annoyingly

@Savannah no it doesn't. Breastfeeding mums can get periods 🤣 hilarious

17 months

@Natalie I think she means because generally if you’re breastfeeding it takes much longer for your periods to return

@Natalie the first 6 weeks aren’t considered a period as this bleeding is linked to the birth ☺️ Breastfeeding mums tend to get their periods later but it also depends on whether you’re feeding at night (if your baby is sleeping for longer periods at night, you’re more likely to get your period back) / pumping / when you start solids etc. LAMM is a contraception method that many women use.

Just got mine I’m 14 weeks PP. it is way heavier than normal too.

Mine was 6 months while EBF.

@Brielle sorry what does EBF mean?

8 weeks PP & exclusively BF

First c section- 9 months, but I was breastfeeding This time- I’m almost 12 weeks postpartum and idk what’s going on, but I’m slightly spotting for about a week now. So idk if I’m about to start or not 😅
