A. Hello good morning !! Post delivery periods will be irregular in some ladies due to harmonal changes abd low Haemoglobin. At the same time there are high chances of getting pregnancy so use contraceptive methods . Irregular periods for 1-2 weeks after delivery is common no need of worrying about this. Have more leafy vegetables,dates, raisins, almonds, walnuts, beet root, jaggery, peanuts , fruits and vegetables and iron supplements to meet the requirement of Iron.
