First period postpartum
Show your support
I was exactly and had to use maternity pads for days 2 and 3 of my period. I was feeling wobbly and had to hydrate a lot on those days! It got better day 4 and stopped day 6.
I’m the same though I don’t have any cramps or bloating literally just bleeding! Also I’m on blood thinners 😓 x
Yes 100% normal mine was like a crime scene every 45/1 hour I had to change
Aw thank god 🤪 I was worried I was bleeding non stop and don’t know when it would stop. Just day 3 now and hope it finishes next week cuz that’s just too much blood in my opinion
@Polina mine lasted 8 days but slowed down by day 4-5
How long after birth did you all start you period? I’m 11 weeks nearly pp and still not had it unless I did and thought it was still bleeding as I bled on off for 7 weeks x
@Kate I’m formula exclusively, did a bit of pumped milk in the first week tho. But lochia stopped at after 4 weeks. And then nothing, no discharge at all and then at 6 weeks exactly a bit of red blood and then every day it’s been more and more blood. Yesterday and today the heaviest for me so I hope tomorrow will be lighter
I was heavy first few days too x
Did it get better on your next period?
Yep! It's 100% normal. Mine was horrific and I was wearing the always discreet pants. It was really bad for 3/4 days and then eased off x
