In fact, “what the duration of period after surgery”, “how heavy should first period after c-section be?” are common postpartum questions.īut the truth is, no two women will have exactly the same flow after a c-section, and it’s even more difficult to predict when your period will start. That is, how heavy should your period be after a c-section or vaginal birth. Just like Lucy, after waiting for months and then having your first period, another question sets in. I’m worried why my period is now heavy after a c-section and I need help to know if I should seek medical care or not. I recently had my first period after c-section today after months of waiting and surprising it’s heavier than I expected.ĭuring my first pregnancy, which was three years ago, I experience light vaginal spotting that lasted for about four days. While it may take just 10 weeks after surgery for women who do not breastfeed to have their period, the time frame could be longer for breastfeeding mothers.
However, this depends on many factors, and in fact, it is difficult to say when a woman’s period will start-off after vaginal birth or cesarian section. These hormones act without you knowing they exist and their role is to ensure cyclical thickening and breakdown of the endometrium during your 3 – 7 days menstrual period.Īfter getting pregnant, your body regulates itself again, meaning that, you no longer see any monthly period for the duration of your pregnancy.Īnd the reason this happens is that you are no longer ovulating, and some hormones that normally fluctuate during your menstrual cycle, i.e., before getting pregnant, are now elevated thereby stopping ovulation completely.Īfter your nine successful months of pregnancy, your hormones will also start changing again and for most women, your period will return. Question: When can I expect my first menstrual period after c-section? Is it normal to have a light or heavy menstrual period after c-section? How long does first period after c-section last?īefore getting pregnant and having a baby, your body naturally produces hormones that function to make you have your monthly period.
