I had a c-section and my wee man is nearly 71/2 months old, got a slight period last month but haven't had another since.

I menstrated through the first half of my pregnancy with Kiya, but once that stopped I didn't get my period back until she was 15 months old... and I breastfed her until 6 months.
I bled on and off through my pregnancy with Josiah, afterbirth stopped after 4 weeks and I got my period back when he was 2 months old... and I breastfed him until 8 months.
I'm finally having a pregnancy when I don't bleed in some way! I'm hoping it will be like with Kiya, and I'll get a real break ]]> Mon, 30 Oct 2006 14:01:04 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4242&PID=82438&title=period#82438 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4242&PID=82378&title=period#82378 Author: NelsonChick

I exclusively breastfed for 5 months, and got my period when Joshua was 3 months. I had a c-section, but dunno if that makes a difference? One thing I've noticed though is that it is really light - it always has been, but it's way lighter than it used to be.]]> Sun, 29 Oct 2006 20:55:27 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4242&PID=82273&title=period#82273 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4242&PID=82266&title=period#82266 Author: meow

It's so different for everyone. I had a c-section, stopped b/feeding at 6 weeks and still haven't got my period back (though I'm thinking it's on it's way veeeeery soon).]]> Sun, 29 Oct 2006 19:01:56 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4242&PID=82253&title=period#82253 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4242&PID=82248&title=period#82248 Author: mummy_becks

I got my period back at 3mos with each of the girls (or was Briona 2mos?! I forget). The first one was c/s and I exclusively bf until 3-4mos+

But in saying that I have a friend who has had 2 c/s, she bf exclusively for around 3mos but didn't get period back until 6-7mos each time.

This is one thing which doesn't seem to base on what happened to your mother. Mine seemed to get her period back after she stopped bfing OR at 12 mos whichever was earlier. Yay for the 12mo holiday!!]]> Sat, 28 Oct 2006 21:50:22 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4242&PID=82144&title=period#82144 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4242&PID=82079&title=period#82079 Author: Kazzle

yip, it varies. with my first i was expressing and feeding via bottle for 6 weeks and when i stopped that my period came back the next month. second time i breast fed exclusively for 5 months and then stopped and again my period came back around 4 weeks later.
this time my bleeding stopped at 6 weeks and so far hasnt returned, but im not exclusively breastfeeding, so will be intersting to see when it shows up, i reckon it will be soon.]]> Sat, 28 Oct 2006 16:01:09 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4242&PID=82064&title=period#82064 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4242&PID=82057&title=period#82057 Author: jax
