What is the first period after giving birth like?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Normal: Many women have normal periods like pre-pregnanacy. They can also be lighter or heavier than usual as you hormones resume normal levels and function. Every woman is different. Some have return of menses within a few months and others not for 9-12 months after delivery.
