How long does it take for your period to come after you give birth vaginally? It has been 6 weeks for me and I still haven`t gotten one and it don`t seem like it`s coming. I am concerned because my husband and I have been having unprotected sex.

Mrsrheins - 149 days ago I took a test a couple days ago and it was negative...i also started my period yesterday (yay) so i am okay. also my doc said it was okay for us to have sex after the 4th week. so that's why we were having sex before the 6th week.

ttasha - 149 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) well gave birth 2 months ago and im also breastfeeding and my period came 8 weeks after so its nothing to worry about but its best to use some form of contraception if you dont ant to get pregnant again and its best to get a test to check just in case

michaela - 151 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I would do a pregnancy test to be sure but most people take a couple of months before things return to normal. I'm breatfeeding and only got my first period at 5 months along.

kayleighrobo - 152 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) i was worried at first well all 3 times when i didnt come on my periods even when i never had sex lol but it varies if you breast feed in can take months if your not breast feeding usually 8-9 weekish it all depends i stopped breastfeeding at 4 weeks and i got my period about 14 weeks after, well good luck hun so sorry about your loss x

Mommyof2boys - 152 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) It all depends, everyone's body is different just like every baby is different. If you are breastfeeding it could be a year before you start your period. Just to be safe you should get on a birth control.

momofboys - 153 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) Yikes! I would get an at home pregnancy test! Hopefully soon!!

prittigrl01 - 153 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I read your question. no, I do not think that 18 is too young to have a child. Your an adult and since your 35 weeks along I'm sure you are more than ready to start being a mom to your little one! I am a firm believer that God does not put anything on us more than we can bare. I believe that every baby is a blessing and things happen for a reason. God knew that you needed your little one. I hope this helps. Ps- you'll be fine we have it instiled in us to be good mothers that's what we were made for!

retta ann - 153 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) It usually takes anywhere from 4 to 8 weeks. So you still have a little while to wait and find out for sure.

Mrsrheins - 153 days ago yeah i took a test tonight and it was negative. My baby was stillborn so im not breastfeeding but my milk is not all the dry either, so maybe that is why it is a lil slow coming?? i go to my ob in may so i'll see then. thanks for your help...more comments welcome :)

Andree-Anne - 153 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) my friend who was breastfeeding didnt have her period for around 5 months after giving birth. on the opposite ive got them 1 months after giving birth. but i was not breastfeeding my baby was on formula. well if you had unprotected sex you should check with a pregnancy test just to be sure! its the easiest way to figure out.

kater - 153 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) i breastfed, and didn't get a period until i was feeding solids on a fairly regular basis, around 6-7 months. i would though buy a test, just to be sure, because if you arent having periods, then you wont necessarily know when you are likely to ovulate

lovergirlnicole - 153 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) i bleed for 10 months straight after having my daughter and the only reason why i stopped was because i got pregnant again it sucked and i mean i bleed everyday for ten months straight i went to the doctor once when i was 5 months postpartam but all he did was give me pills that didnt work good luck
