so painful and i was bleeding very heavily

I heard you don’t get periods if you breast feed. 7 weeks pp and still haven’t had mine. Is this true?

heavy bleeding for 13 days, that was it

I breastfed and pumped for six months, still got my period after 3 months pp - but it was just like before birth. Nothing horrific. Maybe lasted a few days longer but no pains or anything and not too heavy

Heavy I've just had my 2nd one n got cramps for 3 days

I got mine 5 weeks pp, just a normal period for me

I got mine at around 12 weeks pp. Very heavy but not too bad! Second one less heavy but more cramps!

I'm at 16 months and still haven't got it back! I'm breastfeeding though...

I had my first period exactly two weeks once I had stopped breastfeeding my one year old. It is exactly like your body has stored almost two years of periods! But other than the shock of bleeding again, it was fine

I'm 11mnths pp @ still haven't had one, only breastfeeding 2x a day so hope this normal 😅

My first period was okay.. medium flow. I am on my second and it’s no joke the heaviest I’ve ever had. I’m changing my pad/tampon every hour. I’m considering buying incontinence pads because these thin ones ain’t cutting it 😂😂

My first was very heavy and painful. I honestly felt like I was having contractions. Some of the pains I couldn't stand up straight. But I've had 3 now and they feel like normal

Extremely heavy bleeding, I’ve just had my second period since and that was still heavy but not anywhere near as bad as first one and it was over and done in 5 days!
