Hels   10 #1 Posted September 7, 2006 How long after having a baby does it normally take for your periods to return to normal? I thought it would be back to normal after about 6 weeks? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Strix   11 #4 Posted September 8, 2006 Isn't if fairly normal for it to take about 6 to 9 months? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
cosywolf   10 #5 Posted September 8, 2006 It depends if you're breastfeeding. Breastfeeding generally stops your cycle returning to normal...I think I started getting there about a month after I stopped breastfeeding - 7 months.

Titian   10 #6 Posted September 8, 2006 as above, don't worry about it as it is different for everyone. Breastfeeding does extend the time but not always. It might also be worth keeping in mind that even if your periods have not returned you are highly fertile for around 3 months after giving birth.

WTAW Â Â 10 #7 Posted September 8, 2006 As the above posters have suggested, the time does vary from woman to woman and can be affected by breast feeding, so don't worry if you feel that yours aren't right yet. But BE WARNED, unless you want another nappy event always use precautions. If you have any concerns about your 'cycle' discuss it with your health advisor just to put you mind at rest.

Lucy-Lastic   10 #8 Posted September 8, 2006 With son 1 I didnt get a period until 13months but son 2 I got it at 7 months (I felt kind of cheated that it came back so early:hihi:) - both were breastfed. As other posters have said its different for everyone and it would seem different babies:D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Tiphphinne   10 #11 Posted September 15, 2006 If you breastfeed it can be years. My youngest was 16 months old when I became pregnant with this little one, and I hadn't had any periods at that point. I know many other mummies who have gone on 2 years plus. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
