Periods

How long was it after giving birth do you normally get your period? I know everyone’s different but I’ve been getting cramps all day together, I’m 5 weeks 3days pp… is it normal to get your period this early?

I’m only 4 weeks pp, don’t breastfeed and have been having a lot of cramps. I was told it’s normal at 4 weeks + for periods to return and not to panic

Yeah I was 6 weeks with my daughter and I’m 5 weeks pp after my son, and all the signs are starting to come. I had a c section so my scar starts aching again when my period isn’t far off of starting again

That’s interesting to know, I had a c section as well and it’s starting to hurt along with the cramps so maybe that’s my period starting 😭 hoping it goes fast
