When is your period due after giving birth?

It is difficult to say when you will get your period after giving birth. No organism is the same as another; it depends on your body and how often you breastfeed your baby.

If you are breastfeeding your period will come later. If you breastfeed your baby, the hormone prolactin is produced in your body, which blocks ovulation and thus the possibility of becoming pregnant.

Usually the first menstruation begins three to eight months after birth.

Breastfeeding is a form of contraception, which means that the chance of getting pregnant is small. Breastfeeding is considered to be 98% effective as a method of contraception, although effectiveness depends on how often you breastfeed your baby.

It is recommended that you use some method of contraception and not rely solely on breastfeeding unless you are planning to have another child.

If you feed your baby with artificial milk, your period may come five weeks to three months after birth.

In some women, menstruation will be regular from the first cycle, while in some other women, it may take up to six cycles for menstruation to be regular.

If before giving birth you had very painful periods and bleeding, then the good news is that after giving birth this will be fixed.

It is thought that because of the irregular position of the uterus (which makes it difficult for blood to flow out of the uterus) women have a lot of pain and bleeding during menstruation. After childbirth, the position of the uterus changes and these complaints disappear. /Telegraph/
