TMI - First postpartum period =

Tambcat · July 2012

total bloodbath. :-/ I had to change my super tampon twice in the middle of the night, and didn't catch it early enough both times.

I am staying home from work because I am actually scared that I will bleed all over myself and the office.

Ugh, this exactly! I just got mine on Saturday, and it's literally outrageous. I am disgusted by myself haha. Also, I'm EBF so I'm majorly disappointed I even got it lol.

Mine was the same but the heaviness last 2-3 days and then it was completely gone. I'm about to start my period again this week so I'm hoping it's better. Should be since I'm on the pill. I forgot how much PMS sucked!!

Ugh, I'm sorry. I was surprised by how light mine was, the pain was AWFUL. I was in tears. Being a chick sucks sometimes, huh?

Mine was the same way, Tamb. It was horrid. Definitely bled through everything the first two days... The cramps were also atrocious. Then it died down to being more manageable. Hopefully yours does the same.

Thanks It started slow, and I was like - wow! I'm so lucky! lol. Then it really picked up yesterday and last night. Thankfully, the cramps aren't bad at all.

My first was a total bloodbath also. I actually called my doctor because I was pretty sure I was dying. They pretty much laughed and said to take some Motrin to try and slow it down a bit. So much for BFing keeping the period away!

Mine started on Friday night. We stopped at a hotel on the way to the beach. I destroyed the sheets. It literally looked like a cow was slaughtered in the bed. So embarrassing, and no telling how much they will charge my card for.
