Anyone else get shorter and milder periods after having a baby?

Question

I used to have ridiculously heavy periods. I would get huge blood clots, I would bleed through my clothes, tampons, pads, you name it. 
Now I can use a thin pad for 3 and a half days and I'm all good. Anyone else experience that? I'm not complaining it just seems so weird that they are so easy now.

Answer

My periods pretty much knock me to my knees, fetal position, vomiting. Heavy, clotty, just horrid. Had my daughter in 2018 and they got way better. Like not even cramping anymore. For about 6 months and then it started getting bad again and by the time she was 1, they were back to how they used to be. Short lived but wonderful at the time.

Answer

I still use a cup like I did prior to pregnancy, but I definitely feel like my periods are shorter and not bleeding near as much. I was just like you before with the clots and bleeding through. I also feel like they aren’t as painful as they were before. Maybe one bad day but the rest are fine!
