When will my period come after I give birth?

Menstruation can be said to be every woman's friend. Generally speaking, there will be menstruation every month, but during pregnancy or after childbirth, due to different physical conditions of each person, the time of menstruation after giving birth is also different for each person. This is a normal phenomenon. So when does menstruation come after giving birth? This is also a question that everyone is concerned about, so let’s take a look at the following content.

Women generally start menstruating at around age 13 and stop at around age 55 (this is just an approximate reference time, the specific time varies from person to person). During this age period, menstruation usually comes as normal, except for irregular menstruation or pregnancy, when menstruation stops.

Amenorrhea after pregnancy is a normal physiological phenomenon. Menstruation will return to normal some time after delivery.

1. From a medical point of view, based on the tissue morphology of the endometrium, the ovaries may ovulate as early as 33-42 days after delivery. In addition, the presence of a corpus luteum after ovulation can also be observed 6 weeks after delivery. Therefore, if the mother does not breastfeed, menstruation usually comes within 6 to 8 weeks after delivery.

2. Research data show that 40% of non-breastfeeding mothers resume ovulation 6 weeks after delivery; by 8-12 weeks after delivery, only about 35% of mothers have not resumed ovulation and menstruation. About 25% of breastfeeding mothers will resume ovulation and menstruation 12 weeks after delivery, and most breastfeeding mothers usually take until 18 weeks to fully resume ovulation function. However, it is sometimes difficult to determine the exact time of the first menstrual period after delivery, and a small number of women will begin to have intermittent bleeding of small to moderate amounts immediately after delivery.

The above content is the basic knowledge about when menstruation will come after giving birth. I believe everyone will have a certain understanding after reading it. Generally speaking, it can be early or late, so don’t worry too much. If the condition persists for a long time, it is recommended to consult a doctor as soon as possible and improve it with the help of a doctor.
