Possible Reasons for Irregular Periods Post C-Section:
✅ Hormonal Changes – Your body is recovering from pregnancy and childbirth.
✅ Breastfeeding – If you are breastfeeding, it can delay or alter your menstrual cycle.
✅ Uterine Healing – The uterus is still healing from surgery, which may affect periods.
✅ Stress & Recovery – Physical recovery, lack of sleep, and stress can impact cycles.
When to See a Doctor?

Heavy bleeding (soaking pads within 1-2 hours). Severe cramps or clots larger than a coin. Periods stop suddenly after starting again. Very irregular cycles persist for months.
Otherwise, your periods should regulate within a few months. Stay hydrated, eat a balanced diet, and give your body time to heal!
