Changes in a female body after the delivery
Everything is thought over by the nature. Recently given rise woman receives "deserved rest" from new pregnancy for that period while she nurses. During this time her reproductive system is completely recovered after the delivery that to enter a condition of new pregnancy in "full combat readiness".
Those bloody allocations which are observed at each woman in the early postnatal period and some mistakenly are accepted to menstrual bleeding, actually, nothing in common with it have. These are the lokhiya which are by the nature wound separated, the internal surface of a uterus after the delivery represents one continuous wound. Blood, an ichor, parts of endometrium, residues of placentary fabric, slime is their part. Lokhiya gradually grow brown, then brighten and completely disappear by the end of the 4th – the 6th week after the delivery. But whether the periods at the feeding women can renew after all?
Monthly at feeding

The nature of a menstrual cycle after the delivery can change. For breastfeeding monthly can be irregular, less plentiful. Subsequently the cycle is restored though its character can differ from the fact that was before childbirth. Restoration of a menstrual cycle, as a rule, does not influence process of a lactation. However some mothers note that when feeding during monthly the kid behaves more uneasily, than usually. It can be connected with the change of taste and a smell of milk caused by more active work of the sweat glands located on mammary glands.
