How soon after having a baby should I start my actual period? I had a section and I'm bottle feeding. I bled heavier then lightly spotted for two weeks after having the baby but I don't consider that a period. I had him may 9th. Should I probably most likely have a period this month ? Cycle is typically 22 or so days give or take so it says by the end of this week I should. Even if it's late I'm hoping I have one in general. Any moms out there did you have a period the month after your baby was born or did it take longer for you to have a period? Thanks!!
