After giving birth how long does it take for your period to go away? I been having mines for like 3 or 4 weeks now it takes forever
Another question different topic is how long does it take for down there to fully heal? And does it hurt to have sex again after it heals?

My bleeding stopped a week after my son was born and than a month after his birth my period and body went back to normal. I had stitches and my hubby and I had sex 3 weeks after baby (we definitely used protection) and I won't lie it hurt and just felt weird at first lol. So we than waited another 3 weeks and all was good and back to normal. This time around I will wait the 6 weeks to have sex and let my body heal and relax :)
