Thereâs no hard rule as to when your period will return post-baby â it can vary from woman to woman, and pregnancy to pregnancy. Here are some general guidelines. Women who bottle-feed can see their menstrual cycle return within six weeks of birth â and most will have menses back by ten to twelve weeks.
A normal pregnancy lasts about 40 weeks from the first day of your last menstrual period (LMP). Pregnancy is assumed to start 2 weeks after the first day of the LMP. Therefore, an extra 2 weeks is counted at the beginning of your pregnancy when you are not actually pregnant. Pregnancy âofficiallyâ lasts 10 months (40 weeks)ânot 9 monthsâbecause of these extra weeks.
