What to expect for first period after giving birth?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Timing will vary: The timing of your period will vary depending on whether you are breast feeding or not. The longer you breast feed, the longer the wait. The amount of bleeding can vary also, so don't get alarmed. Talk to your OB.
