it depends on your hormone level after giving birth, also depends on if u breastfeed your baby it also varies from women to women from 3- 6 months in any case she should go see a doctor

it's perfectly normal if u were breastfeeding. it's called 'lactational amenorrhoea'. it's considered as a method of birth control by some tho very unreliable. u see breastfeeding your baby releases an hormone which inhibits d hormones that would restore your menstrual cycle. that's y it's recommended by d W.H.O 2 breastfeed 4 at least 4 to 6 months b/4 introducing complementary feed because it sort of protects against another pregnancy so soon.

It is very normal, Women undergo series of changes in there body system before and after child birth. Some never see their menstration until they stop giving birth.The only difficulty she will have is that she wouldn't know how to calculate herself rather indulge in family planning.

One of the known benefits of the baby friendly initiative is prolonged Post-partum amenorrhea. If you are practising exclusive breastfeeding, post-partum amenorrhea lasting for 6 months is nothing to worry about.As a matter of fact it is meant to prevent another pregnancy so soon.
But if you are still worried, no harm in checking it out with a Doctor.

Normal, if you are breastfeeding your child. I read it might take upto six months before your period arrives. On the other hand, if you were not breastfeeding, your period can appear as early as 3-4 weeks. Still, check on your gynaecologist for more information.

yes its normal, to not see your menstratuation after birth. after birth u secret this hormone prolactin which produces milk, so prolactin inhibits GnRh which would normally activate secretion of LH, and FSH, now surge of LH responsible for ovulation. no LH no ovulation. its God's on way of birth control

I am not sure how to work this site. I have a question I was hoping someone could help with.
About one month after having my baby I had an IUD put in. I did not start my period yet when they put it in. The preg. test showed neg. I went back a few times complaining of pain on my left lower abd, abnormal spotting and it hurt when I had sex. The doctor kept saying it wasn't the IUD (without checking) that it could be cyst and it will dissolve itself. Finally the third time I went in I say a new Doctor. He did an US and found the IUD was not where it should be. It poked through to the abdominal wall which was scratching me causing pain and the spotting. They took it out the next day. I am due to go back in in about a week to have new one put in. I still have not started a period since I had my baby six months ago. Took blood test it was neg. I only breast fed for a couple weeks (too painful) so what could be causing me not to have a normal period. Normally I would be thrilled but figured I should have started one by now. The spotting I was having lasted for about 4 months which is how long it took a doctor to take it out. Any suggestions The doctors I see now a days just seem to want to get you in and out.

stick with the new doctor that actaully checked your IUD. The other one did a dangerous thing by dismissing you
IUDs are very effective but personally the thought scares me. Hopefully they do the new one well and make sure you ceck up on it frequently
as for not seeing a period or what not
I suggest seeing a FEMALE GYNO that will take your concerns seriously and talk to her about it. could have been he problem wih the first IUD
