A member asked:

Hello, i had a c-section 15 and a half months ago, and have just started my first period. i have really bad cramps and feel nauseous. any suggestions?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hormonal imbalance?: Were you breastfeeding prior to today? That could be the reason of delayed period. With history of c-section and first period, the hormonal imbalance may still be present. If the cramping and nausea continues, you may want to seek medical help. Good luck!
