Is It Normal To Have Slightly Irregular Bleeding After Resuming Menstruation Postpartum?

Since my periods resumed after my last baby blood is brown spotting for a week or so then I ll finally get 2-3 days of regular/heavy bleeding then spot for another 3-5 days, why is this? Should I be concerned? My baby is 18 months. I am 44. I nursed until she was 11 months old.

Hi.

I've gone through your query. I can understand your anxiety.

Breast-feeding has much impact on women's menstrual cycle. It varies from delaying the periods for 6 to 12 months or no periods at all during nursing or irregular periods.

It is absolutely normal for you to experience irregular periods after child birth and also changes in the duration,frequency & volume of your cycle after pregnancy are common.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Get well soon.

Regards,
Dr. Yogapriya V, General and family physician.
