C-sections are common surgical procedures performed during the delivery of a baby. C-sections, also known as cesarean sections, require a surgical incision in the mother’s abdomen and uterus to safely deliver the baby. While c-sections are generally a safe procedure, they do come with more risks than a natural vaginal birth, and can come with complications as well. C-sections are often either performed in a response to an emergency problem that arises in order to ensure the baby is born safely, or they can be scheduled in advance due to various reasons. It’s common knowledge that after you give birth,
Menstrual Cycle after C Section
I delivered my child on 14 July 2018 n had periods till August… But since then past two months I don’t have my periods at all… I am breast feeding exclusively.. Is it normal?
Hello Dhara, yes, your body should re-regulate itself soon.
I had my c section for my baby last year I normal have a regular period cycle but now it’s not coming went it schedule to I took a pregnancy test it came out negative its been A week now should I see ah doctor????
Hi Patricia, have all of your periods been normal since your c-section? If so, consider the past month if you have been sick, stress, taking medications, etc. I would recommend that if you are still getting a negative pregnancy test that maybe you’ll want to consider making an appointment with your doctor. Good luck.

Hi Summan, you mean your periods started again after 2-3 days? I would call your doctor and make an appointment to see them again.

Hi Kiran, if you are still breastfeeding it could be normal that your cycle isn’t back to it’s normal routine yet so to speak. I would give it time, even a year to get back on track.
Hi .. I am a mom of a 4 months baby , I have also delivered him via c-section .. And having my periods back on normal routine while I am breastfeeding him exclusively , no formula nothing else .. I delivered him on April 13th and had my 1st period on may 24th and having them every month on time, no skips .. Can anybody help?? Is it normal to have periods during exclusive breastfeeding????
Hi Aleena, while most women don’t get their period back until after they are done nursing or start adding foods, it’s quite possible to get it. Each person is different and every body is different. If you are concerned, make an appointment with your doctor.
Hello madam, I delivered a baby via c section, nov’24th,2017. Now ninth month,I’m on breastfeeding, my first menstrual period came 6 weeks, it’s continued on three months once in a month, third month onwards 3 times in a month is it normal. I’m suffering with frequent periods and heavy bleeding.
Hi Beulah, So if I am understanding correctly you are getting your period 3 times a month? While it does take a few months for your cycle to regulate it seems excessive to have it that often. I would talk with your doctor.
Hi Ms madellaine.
Same with your situation. I have my baby too via c section last Aug 2017. i got my m.period after 2 months, since then, my menstrual cycle was irregular. Probably, weight gain , stress, etc. I thought that was the symptoms because I work in an office.
Thank you and GB.

Hi there Madellaine, see your doctor for a blood PT.
Hey , I had c section may 10th 2018 had my period July 3rd 3018 now its the ending of july , its been 16 danys since my last period and i have spotted period is this normal?
Hi Silverlis, yes it could be ovulation bleeding which is quite possible.
I am a mother of a 3 months old baby via c – section, my husband and i have sex june 6, 2018 but i had my last period june 12, 2018 but until now i am waiting for my next menstruation. Is it possible that i am pregnant again??
Hi Ika, so you had your period after you had unprotected sex? Then you most likely wouldn’t be pregnant unless you haven’t had your period since then and have had unprotected sex. Have you taken a pregnancy test? Or are you breastfeeding as that can affect your cycle as well.
Hello i had my baby via c section feb 22 2018. Im a woman that always has gotten my periods regularly unless I’m pregnant. Well april and may i had a normal regular period for 4 to 5 days. June i never got one and this month still haven’t got one. No im not breastfeeding and im not on birth control. I just took a pregnancy test it was negative. Anyone have any ideas what could be going on? Thank you
Hi Leah, stress of being a new mom can affect your period. If you are concerned make an appointment with your doctor again to see if there is anything going on.

Hi Anny, those first periods after having a baby can be seriously intense. Give your body some time to heal and get back to it’s normal cycle.

Hi Daniela.
Thank you for u suggestion …I m not totally breastfeeding just once a day because my baby doesn’t want my milk so I forcibly feed her…
Hi Rojeena, even if you are pumping as well or just feeding once a day, that can suppress your cycle. Some women have to completely wean their children before their period returns, you might be one of those.
Hi , I hav a c-section at Nov 27 after that I haven’t get period till now..should I hav to concern doctor?? Plz suggest
Hi Rojeena, are your breastfeeding? If so that is completely normal. Breastfeeding suppresses the menstural cycle.
Hi had my baby via c section last month may 21. I am having my 1st menses and am a breastfeeding mother and now these days I am having clotted blood. what is the reason?
Hi Santa, some women have clots normally with their periods. Plus breastfeeding can change your period a bit. I would consider what you are having to be normal. Especially your first one. These ones a lot are always heavier than the rest and your body is reacclimating to having a period and ovulating. Give it a few months to become more normal.
