Getting your Period Back After Baby: Ep 32

Getting your period back in postpartum is yet another area that has a huge lack of readily available information, and simply isn’t being talked about enough.

Women are left with little information on what to expect, so they have no idea what is normal or abnormal after a major change in their bodies.

Every one of us is different and our cycles will differentiate, but there are so many things that have been labeled as normal when in reality they are not.

Just because these menstrual symptoms are very common, does NOT mean they are normal.

It’s time to get down to the root cause of these symptoms and get it fixed.
You shouldn’t dread having a period.

It is a beautiful thing and a process of renewal we as women should be able to embrace.

I’m going to share with you what is considered normal in your cycle, some things that are more abnormal, and what can be done to help get your cycle back on the right track.

If you are struggling with any issues related to this, come join The Postpartum Circle Facebook group and ask questions there. We would love to help you heal!
