Is This Going to Be A Long Day?

Princess_Lily · September 2009

Since stopping BF 2 months ago, I was getting concerned I might have a BFP since Aunt Flow didn't pay a visit...so yesterday reluctantly I took a pregnancy test and found out thankfully I had a BFN. We want to wait another year or so before we even consider another baby...

anyhoo, this mornin Aunt Flow showed for the first time in over a year...I took Tylenol and am preparing myself for a long day.

But is the first "visit" after your baby is born really as bad as I hear? Or is it the "normal" aches and pains you usually feel?

It was normal for me. I've always had very regular periods and hardly any cramping though, even after having a baby.

I'm still waiting for AF to show and I'm not BFing this time.

My second AF was much worse. It took nine days for it to take its course. That factor alone made me bitchier than usual.

Mine's pretty bad. Going on a month now, with no signs of stopping or letting up. It's been almost as heavy as the first days after I had DD on occasion, otherwise, like a really heavy period.
