PERIOD????

[JustFeliciaNicole]

When do you start your period again after giving birth?Is it right after or does it start when you would usually start? And how long?????

From what I've heard, the first one especially, is much heavier than normal and can last longer (usually about 7-10 days)

But when you do get it is it like a regular period? Or is it heavier and longer???

That all depends. Usually it takes a couple months for your body to re regulate itself however if you are breastfeeding you can go a much longer time without having a period (some women even go almost a year). However even though you don't have a period your body still releases eggs! So unless you have plans to get pregnant again right away its best to look into possible methods of birth control.
