When did you get your first Postpartum period?

Question

This is baby #4 and I’m ashamed to not be able to remember how long it took for the other pregnancies being so long ago.  This is my first c section recovery and I’m currently 13 weeks pp and not breastfeeding exclusively, as I do both breast and supplement but more supplementing lately.  I’ve been cramping as if it’s going to start and never comes.  Spotted last month for 2-3 days thinking it was going to come down any minute and never did.  When did you ladies get your first pp cycle?

Answer

Hey ladies, Just an update: Started my first period today!!! One day shy of 15 weeks postpartum.  I’m attributing this to our breastfeeding ween. Originally I was both breastfeeding and supplementing but decided to make the transition 2 weeks ago because I wasn’t producing more than 4oz a day not even enough for one feeding.  Not going to lie, I missed my cycle, makes me feel like things are slowing going back to pre pregnancy. So FYI, we are not broken 😂😂

Answer

Thank you ladies for commenting. This put me at ease knowing I’m not the only one 3 months postpartum with a cycle yet. I thought  something was wrong and was about to call my physician lol

Answer

Mine came back immediately after pp bleeding and I just had my second this past week. I've noticed its 2 days shorter than it was before pregnancy, and it was surprisingly lighter too

Answer

With my 1st 13 weeks pp and with my daughter 16 weeks and nothing yet

Answer

I was going to ask the same thing this is my 3rd kid but the first that I am exclusively Breastfeeding. I Started Spotting today so not sure if this is my first post partum period or not. We will see if the bleeding gets heavier or not. I'm currently almost 15 weeks.
