Harmones post delivery

July 20, 2008

10 W post delivery here and I am having what I think is my period.

Also, "medically" when is it safe to TTC again? Is the uterus strong enough to hold a new pregnancy? or needs more time to heal? My Dr said 3 months. But thats more being a friendly advise interms of handling 2 infants at the same time.

But from a medical perspective when is it ok?

Thanks!

All I know is that I know several people who's kids are 10-11 months apart and all went well.. so its at least possible to hold the pregnancy.

Hope I agree with Meghan, I have a friend who have 2 kids very much close in age, I believe she got preggo the 2nd month after she delivered.. It was a full term birth, but definately ALOT of work to have 2 babies so close in age

correct, it's ok pretty much to start the following month after delivery if that's what one really want's...if there was an episiotomy or other cuts during childbirth, we recommend two months to allow for healing of these tissues, so that they don't "reopen" during BD...

If there were no cuts, then the uterus is technically fine the following month
