Is it good to have your period come early after giving birth?

Is it good to have your period come early after giving birth? It depends on how early is early. Generally speaking, if the pregnant woman recovers well, she will usually have her period soon after the baby is one month old, and there is no problem at this time. However, if the repair is not good, the period may not come until the baby is one year old. Therefore, if the menstrual period comes before the baby is one month old, it is actually abnormal. So how long does it take for menstruation to come after childbirth?

For mothers who do not breastfeed, menstruation usually comes within 6 to 8 weeks after giving birth. From a medical perspective, based on the tissue shape of the uterine wall, the uterus and ovaries may be able to ovulate as early as 33-42 days after giving birth. In addition, the presence of progesterone after ovulation can also be observed 6 weeks after giving birth. Therefore, if the mother does not breastfeed, menstruation usually comes within 6 to 8 weeks after giving birth.

Pregnant women who breastfeed usually do not have their periods until 18 weeks after giving birth. Scientific research data show that 40% of pregnant women who do not breastfeed resume ovulation 6 weeks after giving birth; by 8 to 12 weeks after giving birth, only about 35% of pregnant women have not resumed ovulation and menstruation. For breastfeeding pregnant women, about 25% will resume ovulation and menstruation 12 weeks after giving birth, and most breastfeeding pregnant women generally take until 18 weeks to resume ovulation function. However, it is sometimes impossible to clinically determine the exact time of the first menstrual period after childbirth, and a very small number of pregnant women will begin to have light to moderate intermittent bleeding immediately after delivery.
