Should I be worried?

Question

This is my first baby I’ve carried full term and gave birth to so I’ve never experienced a period pp. I’ve been told by many that it comes back full force and is really bad. I got mine 4 days ago and it only lasted 2 days, wasn’t heavy just regular. I know everyone is different and that they can be unpredictable but is it something worth bringing up to my dr or nothing to be worried about at all?

Answer

Definitely bring it up with your doctor, but I don’t think it’s anything to be concerned about. Your first few periods pp can be much different than before, but not necessarily heavier. I’ve only had one so far since giving birth, but it wasn’t very heavy, lasted 8 days in total even though I completely stopped bleeding twice, and I didn’t have any cramping. All of those characteristics are totally different than my periods before getting pregnant.
