How long should your first period after having a baby last? — TMI alert?
I had my daughter on August 1 (10 weeks ago) I bled for 4 weeks after that and did not do anything for 3 weeks. Then I started my first period after that on September 21. It started out really light then got to where it was a normal period then got lighter again and here I am 3 weeks later still having the same period. I am going to call my doctor today just to make sure this is ok but I just wanted to know how others experiences were. Thanks.
Hiya. Defintely go to your doctor and get checked out. It’s always good to be safe. From my experience, I bled for 8 weeks straight after my first child, and after my second I bled for 3, then had a period 4 weeks later, which lasted for about 2 weeks. I’m sure you’ll be fine.
