The first monthly after the delivery

Approximately in 2 months after the delivery the interesting story happened to me. It is known that right after childbirth of allocation can proceed till 45 days. Earlier I thought that the organism of the woman comes back to a habitual cycle for the second month. And there passes month after a long 45-day cycle, and monthly is not present. I wait. There passes a week more. I wait. Two weeks. I wait. Three weeks - and I in a drugstore buy the test for pregnancy. Really something went not according to the plan? The test shows negative result and I ask a question: when the first begin monthly after the delivery? I decided to understand this question.

It appears, there is no concrete term when the first begin monthly after the delivery. Return to a usual rhythm individually. But there are several indicators which influence return of critical days:

1. Feeding termination by a breast.

The matter is that during the feeding period the breast in a female organism produces hormone Prolactinum. He not only is responsible for production of milk, but also suppresses work of ovaries, thereby "blocking" critical days for this period. Good news - monthly will not disturb you so much how many you will nurse the child. Them there can not be no month, half of year or even year.

2. Transition of the child to artificial nutrition.

As soon as your kid passes to artificial nutrition, monthly will return to you. There are cases when the woman for certain reasons cannot nurse the child. If breastfeeding does not happen in general, then for restoration the organism will need about 6-10 weeks. If the feeding mother combines artificial and natural feeding, then for restoration the organism will need about 4-6 months.

3. Other factors

Also restoration of monthly is influenced by some additional factors: food, rest, dream, psychological state and chronic diseases.

Features monthly after the delivery.

1. In most cases, the first monthly after the delivery are less painful, than usually and to that there is a reasonable reason. Pain during monthly happens because of a uterus bend that interferes with normal outflow of blood. After the delivery the uterus is straightened and therefore critical days are not so painful.

2. There is a high chance to become pregnant again and not to notice. If you nurse the child and at you is not present monthly which absence usually is the defining pregnancy factor, you can not learn that actually already pregnant woman. For this reason doctors recommend to be protected during feeding by a breast. It gives the chance to be restored completely to an organism and to avoid unplanned surprises. Keep in mind that on a complete recovery of an organism of the woman about two years after the delivery are required. To allow an organism to cope with such complex challenge as pre-natal development of the child, it is important to sustain this pause before you are engaged in planning of the following child. One more reason why follows will be protected after the delivery it is special vulnerability of female genitals. There is a big risk to bring some infection if not to be protected at this time.

In what cases it is worth seeing a doctor immediately?

1. If right after childbirth monthly did not come.

2. If you stopped nursing the child, and critical days did not come.

3. If in 3 months after the beginning of periods the cycle was not restored.

It can demonstrate existence of diseases. For this reason it is necessary to address the expert immediately.

I hope, this article helped you to deal with when to you to wait for the first monthly after the delivery. Good luck!
