How long after giving birth is it normal to have menstruation?

After giving birth, women are more concerned about how long it will take for them to get their menstruation. If it is a normal delivery, the ovaries will basically resume normal function 35 to 45 days after the baby is born. At this time, they will be able to ovulate normally, and menstruation will gradually appear. If menstruation does not come normally, in addition to being related to poor physical constitution, it is also related to insufficient daily conditioning. At this time, timely conditioning should be carried out.

If the baby is breastfed after birth, the mother's menstruation will resume later than that of mothers who do not breastfeed. A small number of mothers who breastfeed will resume ovulation and menstruation about 12-14 weeks after the baby is born, while the vast majority of mothers who breastfeed will have to wait until about 17-18 weeks after the baby is born to gradually and completely resume normal ovulation and menstruation.

But in reality, sometimes it is difficult for mothers to determine the exact time of their first menstruation after giving birth, because some mothers will have a small amount of intermittent bleeding after the baby is born, and mothers cannot judge whether it is a postpartum bleeding reaction or the arrival of menstruation.

Of course, there is no fixed and exact time for menstruation after a normal birth. Generally speaking, after giving birth, if the mother pays good attention to postpartum precautions and takes good care of herself, her menstruation will resume early; if the mother breastfeeds for a short time and weans early, her menstruation will resume early.

However, if the mother's physical condition is not very good, and she breastfeeds the baby for a long time and weaning is late, the recovery time of menstruation after delivery will be relatively later. Some mothers resume their menstruation right after the baby is born, while some mothers do not recover well and have to wait until more than ten months after the baby is born before their menstruation gradually resumes. The situation of each mother is different, and the time of resumption of menstruation is also different.

In short, the question of how long it takes to have menstruation after a normal birth must be taken seriously by female friends. In addition, it is important to remind all female friends that regardless of whether you have your period after giving birth, if you have sex, you must take necessary contraceptive measures to prevent pregnancy again and avoid unnecessary trouble for women.
