Are your cycles different?
I just want to hear from other women here: are your cycles different since you had your Feb baby? Different cycle lengths, more or less period pain, is your fertile time different?
For me, my cycle lengths are not all that consistent anymore, and tend to be much longer than before. I often have ovulation spotting when I NEVER had that before. My bleeding is the same, but I have crippling period cramps now that stop my daily life, WAY more painful than they’ve ever been. I also experience cramping around ovulation now and I didn’t used to.
I can’t seem to find much information about cycles changing after a baby, and I’m frustrated. I’m seeing my OBGYN this month about the extremely painful cramps, because I’ve always been taught you should see the doctor if your cramps are THAT bad.
So let’s form some data here: what are your cycles like now? Do they differ from before, and if so, how? Also include whether you had a vaginal or cesarean birth.
