periods after pregnancy when should it arrive?

[AngelMum1]

hi all, when should I be worried about my period not arriving after birth?

with my last 2 full term pregnancy's my period returned 5 weeks after birth and with my losses they arrived 4 weeks after surgery.

I'm now 6 weeks post delivery and not recieve this yet?

im not breastfeeding, finished celaxane injections also not on birth control.

I know everyone is different but not sure if it's normal or not given that after my last pregnancy's it's returned by now

Thanks all

I think even if you're not breastfeeding it can take quite a while for your period to return. I think even some not breadwinner mums can not see their period back regularly for a few months. You still have hormones fluctuating round for a while. I breastfed with my first and I didn't even really stop postpartum bleeding for nearly 6 weeks!

If you're really concerned you could speak to your GP, but I wouldn't worry unless you think you might be pregnant again.

Because I breastfed I didn't actual get my period for nearly a year and I was gutted when it started again, but everything came back to normal and we went on to have another baby.

Congratulations on the birth of your baby x

Mine didn’t come back for 1-2 years which was amazing but I was breastfeeding.

Even if you’re not I wouldn’t expect it to come back quickly. Things can take time for your body to realise.

thanks for replies, I'm not overly concerned more curious as it had returned after my last 2 fairly quickly, I've started on mini pill now so may take a while now anyway for my body to adjust

Thanks all
