Periods Started after Six months but.......

Hi all

My periods started last month (nearly 6 months of break after delivery)but heavy flow I have never had this b 4, its like a shower n today after a month I have period, again the same problem. Do I need to be concerned.

I had C-Section. Is it related to this problem.

Plz let me know.


Thanks

Any suggestion plz

Wow Srini! I must say you are very lucky to get your periods so late after delivery.I remember I got mine just 45 days after the delivery.Anyway,I don't think you need to worry.Maybe it is heavy because of the 6 month gap.The initial periods after a delivery usually is heavy.Maybe you can wait till next month and see.

Thanks sunitha for ur reply.

Hi Dsrini,

You may want to check with your doctor. If you are having very heavy flow you may become anemic. And if you are breastfeeding the risk is even more. I also had a C section and my periods started 3 months after my delivery though I was breastfeeding my son. It was normal though not very heavy.

Thanks,
Kavya.

Hi Kavya

Thanks for ur reply. Yes I am breast feeding. This time it is not as heavy as last time so I will wait for one more month then I will call the doctor right away.

Once again thanks for ur reply.

hi Divya!
good that it was normal..
my periods started the imm next month after a C section.. i got worried and consulted my Dr.. she said it is good to have ur periods at the earliest.. it means ur body is returning back to normal.and only if it is heavy and is there for 5 or more days she asked me to consult her back.. so dodnt worry much
bye

Thanks Lakshmi. This time flow was normal very compared to last time so i am happy. I feel one difference(good) after delivery I have less cramping.

Thanks again.
