Not that i'm complaining..1st PP

Did anyone else not get cramps or any signs of their first postpartum period? I just got mine today for the first time and i feel fine. Everyone i've talked to told me that the first PP was the worst of all and that i'd probably be doubled over in pain from cramps. So far I feel fine.. before LO I would get terrible pms migraines, horrible cramps the whole nine, right now nothing...not that i'm complaining bc i could do without all that!  Oh and i'm not on the pill or anything at this time either. I was expecting it to be a lot worse...

Am I speaking too soon? lol

    My first came on without any warning or symptoms, as did my second and now my third.  The first was NBD, the 2nd and third have been ridiculously heavy!

    Mine wasn't bad.  Usually I have cramps and backache.  It wasn't that heavy either.  I was expecting it to be awful and I was pleasantly surprised!

    My first PP wasn't bad... the 2nd one on the other hand... different story. I had major cramps and much heavier flow ... I hoping the 3rd goes back to normal!

    Pre-pregnancy I also had horrible PMS, to include crazy mood swings (bitchiness) and stay-home-from-work cramps.  I always knew when my period was going to start because of the cramps.

    Post-partum, I've had none of those symptoms.  My flow has been heavier and longer than usual (I'm on my 5th PP period now), but absolutely no cramps, and no mood swings, though I have noticed I've been more emotional (crying, etc) in the days leading up to my period.

    Mine haven't been bad at all. The first one came shortly after I had an ovarian cyst rupture, so I contributed the extra discomfort to that. I've never had really bad periods, though. My only sypmtoms have always been mildly sore hips and back.
