Period

Is it normal for periods to be irregular after a c-section? I’ve had one period so far (very light) and was due my next last Sunday but still waiting for it! I expect it’s normal but just want to check xx

I assume it's nothing to do with C-section and just post-partum. I would take a pregnancy test just in case though.

Thank you, have just done a test and it’s come back negative, as expected! Must just be postpartum! All good fun and games, it will probably catch me off guard one day when I’m out and about instead😅 xx

I'm 6 weeks in to my first period pp, apparently it's normal so I'm guessing that irregular periods would also be normal for a while xx

@Nikita Thank you, I thought so, just wanted to check that was the case. I tried to look it up and it wasn’t really coming up with a lot so this is helpful! xx

It really normal for periods to be all over the place pp. My gp said at our 6 week check up that it can take about 6 months for them to go back to normal

@Helen Thank you! It would be super helpful if all nurses and GPs gave the same advice! x

I’ve just had my second period, normally before baby my periods were like clock work, this 2nd period I was 5 days late, took a pregnancy test just to be sure and it was negative but finally came on 😂 presume it’s just our body doing its thing xx

@Megan, thank you. I was like clockwork before too, I’ve finally come on now 9 days late. Must just be our bodies haha! x
