My LO one is 5 weeks delivered via C-section at 37weeks & as of yesterday I what I assume to be my period started when I had no more bleeding just curious when you gals got yours or if I should be heading to the docs right now lol
You may still be bleeding from your c-section. I bled a bit then it stopped and got lighter then came back a bit more. LO is only 5 weeks- I bled for 5-6 weeks after my c-section.
I didn't have my period until DD was 6 or 7 months.
My bleeding stopped after a few weeks and would reappear if I overdid it. I did not get my actual period until 6-7 mos post partum. I did mostly BF but also supplemented as well.
I had pp bleeding right up until the 6 week mark. I got my period back at 4 months pp. Right around the time I had to stop breastfeeding I got my period.
I EBF and didn't get my first period until ~7 months pp. I think I had pp bleeding for the first 3 weeks or so (it's all fuzzy, but it was gone by the 6 week check up).
I bled for about 6 weeks after my c section. I'm BF'ing my 13 month old and still haven't had a period. It's not impossible for it to be your period, but maybe put in a call to your dr just to be safe. Unless you're bleeding lots of bright red blood, I wouldn't be too worried.
5.5 weeks after my CS was when I got my period. I was BFing but turned out to be unsuccessful due to low / no supply as a result of insufficient glandular tissue.
It was a bit erratic at first but became regular again around 4 months PP.
With my first CS, I bled for 10 weeks, But I got the depo shot at my 6 week PP so that could of factored in. With my second CS I bled for only 2-3 weeks. I got my first PP period at exactly 5 months. DS is exclusively BF.
Re: How long until yours came back?
I didn't have my period until DD was 6 or 7 months.
