HI, I understand your curiosity. - After childbirth, there is bleeding for about 15 days , followed by liquid discharge till 21 days of delivery. -Menstruation becomes irregular doe to hormonal changes after delivery & also due to lactation . If you are breast feeding, the periods may be irregular/ may stop till you breast feed your baby exclusively. That offers a natural contraception (due to lack of ovulation.) . * in case you are not breast feeding/ you start getting monthly menses.. you should adopt regular contraception( oral pills/ IUCD)-for sake of spacing. Thanks.
