My baby is 4 months now and still no period, im exclusively breastfeeding. Saas keeps asking but i have no idea when it'll come back na. Did your periods take long after delivery? pls share.
It really depends on whether you are exclusively breastfeeding or not. I had to be so careful with my diet and health post-delivery, and mine started after 8 months. Just focus on eating clean, nourishing food now and don't stress about the timeline too much, it happens naturally.
Arey, it takes time, sometimes even a year if you are feeding the baby! For me, I was busy enjoying all my post-pregnancy food cravings so I didn't even keep track initially, haha. It usually starts late for breastfeeding moms, so enjoy the period-free break while it lasts!
Honestly, it varies so much! For me, since I kept up with light walks and yoga (only after my gynac said okay of course), my body felt like it got back on track within 6 months. But some friends took a whole year especially if breastfeeding. Just don't rush your body, let it heal.
Please check with your gynac once about this during your routine postpartum checkup. For some it starts in 6 weeks, for others it can take a year, especially if you are nursing. It’s always safer to let your doctor know so they can confirm everything is healing fine inside.
Actually, there is no fixed timeline because every woman's hormonal makeup is different. If you're breastfeeding, prolactin levels keep the periods away, sometimes for a year or more. Still, it's best to ask your doctor during your postpartum visits to clear any doubts.
