First period

X__Kimberly · Mar 22nd, 2012, 16:46 PM

I'm 6 weeks pp on Saturday. And I started my first period after baby on this Sunday. I told my doctor and he said it was fine since I had stopped my pp bleeding early.

Well I've been bleeding for 5 days and really heavy and when I say heavy I mean really bad! I can't even move without blood coming out

Sorry TMI

It's starting to worry me a bit

How long did you girls first period last? how heavy was it?

I am BF so my period is light to non-existent, so I don't speak from experience. I do think that is normal though. I had a friend who had a baby and bled continuously and relentlessly for a month. It went away a her cycle has sorted itself out.

My first one was really heavy compared to usual.

The first one is definitely the most heavy bleeding you'll have and it's really normal. The only thing I would advise you watch out for is clotting and not like little bits of clotting but quarter-sized clotting. I was extremely worried about my bleeding but my doc reassured me that it's normal and to only be concerned when the clotting gets large.

periodwhat was your first period like after bub.
Before i was pregnant i had slightly heavy and painful periods. Last week i had surmi period like pains at night two nights and Midday Yesterday i had small amount of blood and So i thought here we go. But the reST of the day had none. None over night. This morning i used a tampon but it was uncomfy So i pulled it out and it had slightly pink mucas on it So i put a pad on and still completely clean. When we went out i used a tampon and again nothing.

Pretty much 100% sure i can't be pregnant So just wondering he anyone had this. My bub is 10 months also.
