A member asked:

How long is it supposed to it take for periods to become regular after childbirth?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It varies: Resumption of normal menses typically takes 6 weeks, but it can vary from one woman to the next. Additionally, if you are breast feeding, this may delay the resumption of normal menses. Wishing you the best in health.
