    Question question about period after having baby??

    It has been 14 weeks since i had my baby and a few days ago i thought i was FINALLY getting my 1st period after having my son
    i got light brownish spotting (like at the start of your period) but it stopped after only a day!!

    has this happened to anyone else??
    When will my period start again for real??

    addition : i am not breastfeeding never have and i have a c-section... if that makess a difference not sure

    My SIL didn't breastfeed her girls and I can remember her getting AF around 12 to 15 weeks post birth. The brown spotting could be break through bleeding, ( I found this happened to me after having my first on occasions), ovulation bleeding or even an implantation bleed. I would say it is just your body re adjusting, but I would take a pregnancy test just to rule that out and if the spotting continues see your doctor. Good luck

    Welcome to BB and congratulations on your baby
