Hi,
It is not normal to have delayed period after having a period following the childbirth. Apart from pregnancy amenorrhea (delayed period) could be due to stress, emotional disturbance, change of job or place, any medical illness, hormonal imbalance, hormonal disorders such as diseases of the ovary, hyperprolactinemia or hypothyroidism. Advised to consult your doctor to rule out those condition and to induce period.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali, General & Family Physician
