It will get lighter. I ended up using a tampon and a maternity pad. My first period was heavier than my pp bleed!
Use the maternity nappies
I had to buy some of the disposable knickers that I wore in hospital, it really caught me by surprise as to how heavy it was as I’ve never experienced it before 😧
@Lucy Mine too 😣
Same, I thought I was dying & it lasted 2 weeks!😂 I used maternity pads x
I used my maternity pads and the adult nappies to try get a handle on the first few days as it is an awful one.
