Answer
Usually you will get  your first period by 8 weeks after the baby was born. When you don't get your period by then and if you have had unprotected sex, first you have to take a pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy. If the test is negative, call your doctor and have your period induced for you with Provera 10mg twice a day for five days and you should get your period within 10 days.
