It depends - it is different for everyone.
My friend did not breast feed and it took her only 5 weeks to get it back.
I fed all my kids and still starting my period again at different stages with each of them.
With my last it was 3 months later, with my 2nd it was 16 months!
There is no straight answer.

You will have a flow following delivery off and on for about 1-2 weeks. It will lighten up as the days progress. Your "normal" period if you are not breastfeeding exclusively will resume in about 4-6 weeks. If you are breastfeeding only you may not have a period for a while but you can still ovulate and get pregnant. Sometime even spotting occurs. These are just general info and each woman is different. As always talk to your doctor if you have any questions. Good luck.

Mine took 17 months to return! But I breastfed for 16 months. If you are breastfeeding it may come back as early as if you had bottlefed, not until 2-6 weeks after you stop feeding, or any time in between.
Women who bottle feed usually find it returns 6-10 weeks after the birth of the baby.

because of the fact thats how we've been made. Now if that they had the babies and the sessions we would might desire to grant the sperm- then we would be the adult men and that they could be the ladies- we purely might desire to be content fabric that it incredibly is how God made us- it replaced into what he designed and needed. No factor in spending too plenty time even thinking approximately it because of the fact we can't replace it. besides, in the event that they did have babies and sessions mankind might have not have been given previous Adam! They make sufficient fuss while they cut back their finger- are you able to think of them with a era- or perhaps worse giving delivery- no - i think of God knew the suited guy for the job of having babies replaced right into a woman.

It normally takes about 6 weeks for the healing of the cervix and uterus to take place ... then you will resume your menstrual period ... UNLESSSSSS !!! You are nursing your new baby,(or any other baby) ... IF you are nursing, chances are you will probably NOTTTTT begin bleeding again until you STOP nursing .

It depends on if your breastfeeding or not. Somewhere around 6-8 weeks after delivery.

Breastfeeding can delay it for a really long time. 22 months is my record!! Going for at least that this time too.

depends on if you are breastfeeding or not. If not, should get it within 3 months, usually it will come earlier. If breastfeeding, may not get one until you stop or decrease the breastfeeding
