How long it takes to get your period after having a baby varies depending on the woman’s body type, hormones and the way she breastfeeds. The recovery time of menstruation varies greatly due to differences in the physiological indicators of the mother’s body, whether she had a normal birth or a cesarean section. In general, for mothers who did not breastfeed after delivery, the recovery time of menstruation is about 6-8 weeks after delivery. For mothers who exclusively breastfeed, the recovery time is around 18-20 weeks after delivery, while some breastfeeding mothers do not recover their menstruation during the whole breastfeeding period. There are also some women with insufficient breast milk production or mixed breastfeeding whose menstruation recovery time may be relatively earlier. In addition, although some women do not resume menstruation after delivery, their ovaries may still have resumed ovulation, so if they have sex at this time, they must take appropriate contraceptive measures.
