How soon after having a baby can you get your period?

selina if your exclusively breastfeeding then id contact your dr or hospital, you 'shouldnt' get your period back yet if your feeding around the clock, its still possible you have, but id get that checked out!!

Thanks for your replies.

My post-birth bleeding seemed to finish about 4ish weeks after and was mostly clear/yellow discharge towards the end. So, it's been a few weeks of no bleeding at all. I am exclusively breastfeeding. I have my 6 week post-natal check in 2 days, so I guess I'll ask my dr then.

Definitely ask the doctor, but don't be surprised if it is AF. I'm pretty sure that mine came back around 6 weeks with all three girls. I also bled for about 3-4 weeks or so, then it tapered off, and stopped, and then around 6 weeks there was new AF-ish bleeding. I didn't have regular cycles right away, but every once in a while, AF would re-appear. Sometimes once a month, sometimes skipping a month, (break out the pregnancy tests!), sometimes light, sometimes heavy. I was fully breastfeeding each time too. My cycle became somewhat regular again after I weaned my babies.
Some of us just don't get a break.

I got my period when my daughter was 4 weeks old exactly. And I was breastfeeding exclusively! So be VERY careful if you are not planning on having another one straight away!
