    Default No period since birth

    Become a member to remove this ad.
    I am 37 years old and gave birth to a healthy baby, normal birth Dec.26th. Since then I have had no period (5 months now). Im also leaking (breasts) from time to time. I have never breast fed and with my last child (now 12) I only remember it taking a few weeks. Is this normal?

    Have you taken a pregnancy test to confirm that you are not pregnant again?

    Obviously, everybody is different, but with both of mine, I believe I had a period within the first 2-3 months...

    No, this isn't normal at all. You should have had your period within 6 weeks after the birth.I'd take a pregnancy test and also make a appointment with the doctor right away.

    Thank you. Yes I didn't think it was normal. I have read that women that breastfeed go without having periods for months but since I haven't breast fed I couldn't imagine why its taking so long.
    I will make an appointment tomorrow and find out what's going on.
