I didn't believe everyone when they said that the first postpartum period would be bad. Good thing I still have pads left over from recovery! And I get to buy new underwear!
Not looking forward to this at all. My OB said to expect it any time between now and 2 years from now. Now that I hear how heavy it is, I'm hoping for 2 years!
My first this time was worse than I remember, but not terrible. I was going through tampons like crazy but nothing horrible. I do hope the 2nd PP period (which I think will happen sometime this week) goes a little closer to my normal.

For those of you using tampons, try just using pads...I have a bleeding disorder and my hematologist said sometimes tampons can irritate the cervix and make bleeding and cramping worse. Might be worth a try...
