how soon after giving birth is the norm to have a period?
Jamie is 6 weeks on thursday, i only stopped bleeding 5 days ago, and today i have had cramps and a slight tinge of blood when i wipe.. so im guessing my af has kicked in already.. it just seems to soon to have one.
im sure with my last 2 kiddies it was nearly a month after the bleeding had stopped from the birth that i had a period.

I was the same-bled for about 4 weeks then just before my 6 wk check got af! And I was exclusively bf! Thought I might have a bigger break before af but no! Best thing about being pg-no af!! (in middle of af at mo and feeling crappy!)

i know its different for all women there isnt a normal as far as this because it depends the hormone peaks and troughs. i was on birth control right off after the first month so i had the period right away...and others who breast feed is different and even some women takes months i heard...

I bled for about 4 weeks after having Cerys, then about a week after the bleeding stopped I got really bad pains in my belly and started bleeding again.
Funny thing is that because Cerys had been delivered by C-section and I was bf her so I believed all the rumours about af not returning for months if bf I phoned the nurse at my doctors in a panic thinking something must be wrong with the c-section recovery. Felt very embarrassed when she suggested that it was af!!!
