Has your period gotten worse as you have gotten older?

Question

I am 28 now and after having my third kid I’ve noticed my period is a beast in more ways than one. Is this normal? Should I go see my OB? I would appreciate your thoughts and experiences.

Answer

Omg, no...it’s gotten shorter and lighter. So much so I had to switch to pads bc it’s too light. I was 38 when it started lightening up, now I’m 44. Went from 6 day to 4 days max (75% of the time it’s only 3 days). And I havent had cramps or period shits either.

Answer

After my fourth baby my period was a beast too, took about a year and a half before it finally calmed down and went back to normal. How long since you had your last baby?

Answer

I have one kid and my periods got heavier, cramps are worse, mood swings made me crazier lol, and my boobies omg they are so painful and I never really had that before. I also have (I’m assuming) a glade in my right breast that gets huge a week or two before my period.

Answer

2 kids later I’m irregular and worse pain.

Answer

After my baby they’ve been hell
