Is It Normal To Have Irregular Periods After Delivery ?
I had my baby about a month and half ago. I had a heavy period for 1 week 2 weeks ago and just began bleeding again today. Is this normal?

Hi,
As u r feeding the baby.
Feeding increases the hormone prolactin in the body which suppresses the hormones responsible for menses.
So feeding will either cause irregular menses or ammenorrroeah.
But still if u have doubt of pregnancy .
Get a pregnancy test done and pelvic scan done.
If it is positive then u can continue your pregnancy by consulting your gynaec.
take some medications from ur gynaec to reduce bleeding.
irregularbleeding is absolutely normal post delivery.
Byeeeee
