TMI? 1st period & clitorus pain

Knottie41914738 · February 2016

So one of the things I took for granted during pregnancy was not having to deal with a period. My daughter is 2 months and today I started my MC. I never remember my periods being this painful before. My cramping in my pelvis is excruciating to where I can't sleep and I'm puking! Also, my clitorus is sore and feels cramped, I've had this feeling since giving birth. This sounds disgusting to talk about, I know, but I had to see if anyone else was having this issue. I talked to my doctor and she said everything looked good, but this is my first child so I'm not aware of things like this.

It's common for AF to be much worse after each child.

As for the pain it's only been 2 months since you had a baby. Give your body more time to heal.

I've had the same feeling as you re: the soreness. It doesn't feel cramped, just kind of a numb pressure. My ob said it was due to nerve damage in the area, but that it would get better with time. The things people don't tell you about childbirth!

It's so awkward to ask about! Lol that's why I'm thankful for boards like this, so I can talking about these things and stay anonymous.

I also had clittoral pain and I asked my OB about it. She said it can take up to 6 months to completely heal. It took 9 months to make a baby, try to give it 9 months to heal too!
