6 weeks postpartum. No menstrual. YET!?
I had baby boy number 2 on July 28th. (c-section) and I was bleeding regularly for about a week in a half after being release from the hospital. My blood flow went from heavy, to light, to dark blood, then nothing. Ive been waiting on my menstrual to come, but it hasn't.
Me and my husband did have sex (oops) a few times with a condom....and Im nervous (yes of course).. What I want to know is when will it come? Does it suppose to take this long....because I cant remember what happened with my first son and how long it took to come with him.
Goodness some one please help me.

Are you breastfeeding at all? That will usually delay a period. If not, you should probably have a period in the next 4 weeks. Keep up the good work with using protection unless you want another baby right away.
I am also waiting for my period.. I had my baby on May 15 2009, I had him vaginal and I was bleeding for 3 1/3 weeks.. We also had sex with condoms before getting into birth-control.. I was breastfeeding but i stopped like almost 2 months ago cuz my milk supply was very low, I have done pregnancy tests and they come back negative so idk what is wrong.. Are you breastfeeding? If you are then your period may not come for a long time, it may even not come until you stop breastfeeding...
Your body will recover on it's own time :) I believe that the c-section plays a role in delaying your cycle... If you're breastfeeding, it can also prevent your period from starting again within those given 6 weeks.
