First Period (TMI)

Pre-pregnancy, my periods lasted about 3-4 days, with only a day and a half of a heavy flow.  Last Wednesday I started my first post-pregnancy period.  It's been nearly a week now, and it's still going as heavy as the worst day I had before.  

Is this normal? How long does this normally last?  I'm thinking about giving my ob a call if it doesn't slow down by the weekend.

Re: First Period (TMI)

  • My periods have always been long, usually 7 days. but with my first pp one, I noticed it stayed heavier longer through out, so I think it may be normal. I think mine wasn't fully gone until 9 days;

  • I have no idea. Before mine lasted 3 days and always right on time. I just started my post-preg on sunday and it was very very heavy. Today is the first day of it being light, so I had 3 days of really heavy and so far 1 light day.

    Nevermind, mine became heavy again. :( 

  • Mine lightened up a  LITTLE last night, but not by much.  So ready for it to be done.  

    I've also been cramping a lot more than I usually do.  Next chance I get I'm getting a heating pad for some relief.
