Period Changes after Birth?

Question

If this question is stupid to you, please don't bother with any rude comments. I'm just really curious about this and will also ask my doctor about it this coming week. For you ladies who have already given birth, did you notice that your periods were different (less/more blood than usual, less/more cramps, etc) when they started back up? I had TERRIBLE period cramps before my pregnancy and I was wondering if they might be any different after I give birth?

Answer

I had bad cramps before #1. Those that make you miss school/work and lay in bed all day with a heating pad popping Motrin and midol.
After birth, almost no cramps. Very rarely would I get some mild ones and in 6 years before I got pregnant again, I only needed to take painkillers a handful of times but even on those times, I was still able to go on with my day.

Answer

My period changed, Im on my 6 weeks postpartum and I got my second cycle with heavy flow that when I get up I fear to make a mess. Is really uncomfortable I hope this thing isn't my new normal.😭

Answer

Mine changed... before I got pregnant it was painful and with a lot if blood/cloths (sorry, TMI) also with a lot of headaches and backpain. On top of that I was very irregular. After I gave birth my period became barely noticable and my cycles where always 28 days... that lasted for a year or so and then changed again to very irregular, but still With a lot less pain then I was used to.

Curious how it's going to be after this second litle miracle 😊

Answer

The first few were more frequent it seemed like.

Answer

I noticed my first few periods were different for sure after each pregnancy. After a few months though they seemed to go back to how they were before I got pregnant. Mine though only last about 4 days and aren't too heavy.

Answer

Unfortunately mine went straight back to the way they were, heavy and painful :(

Answer

Mine were definitely but the opposite. I never had cramps before I gave birth but did after.
