Speaking of periods...how is yours now post baby?

I was on the pill before LO and had been forever. Post baby I noticed a few differences that are a total drag. My bleeding is much heavier (which I guess is to be expected since I am not taking BC) and I get this horrible soreness/throbbing down there the first couple if days that I never had prior. Just wondering if anyone else had any changes too. These are the times it's not fun to be a woman!

SO MUCH HEAVIER.  It's a literal blood bath.  I need to get pregnant again ASAP.

Mine is still heavier, but shorter. The biggest downside is when af comes I feel like someone punched my vagina with a bowling ball.

Mine too! It feels like I'm trying to bleed out completely in two days time.  :-S

I picked other because I still haven't had one yet! I breastfeed morning and night still.

I am weaning so I guess technically I am still nursing....I am guessing that is why.

Thanks for all of your replies. It makes me feel a little more normal.

I have Mirena and don't get a period now. Sometimes I'll spot but its way better for me.

I have paraguard and after the first few 14 day periods, it has returned to the normal 5 days. I always had heavy flow and bad cramps, so there's nothing new there.

I still haven't had one. I BFed for a year & was on the mini pill. I just finished my first pack of my normal, pre-baby BC and am crossing my fingers for a period. My OBGYN said switching back to my regular pill should bring my period back.
