missed period postpartum?

Sorry i tried posting elsewhere but no one answers. I am 6 days late for my second period since my son was born. I am moody and get heartburn (like when i was preggo) but we use condoms! Is it normal to be late?

Some women don't have  periods while breastfeeding.. I did not had it with first baby for 7 month and with second for about a year. But it doesn't mean that you cannot get pregnant, so use protection!

I know a woman who didn't get her prd till her baby was 10 months old. Then again, she was breastfeeding.

Yeah it's usual this soon after the birth for your periods not to have started again :+)

I didn't have a period for 2 months after my daughter was born. And then I had one and missed like 7 or 8 after that. I wasn't pregnant.

Yes. Your period can be helter-skelter the first couple months. Or it can start right back up. Just depends lol.

Well you do have your period for at maximum of 40 after you give birth, so it will take time for your period to go back to normal.
