First Postpartum Period

Caley • Sat, Feb 01

I am currently going through my first period (10 months pp) after giving birth. It is INSANE! I am bleeding through the largest tampons and they aren't staying where I want them to. I tried my cup and that didn't stay where it needed to either. I started kegel exercises, but is this much blood normal? I am hoping the exercises cause things to "go back to normal" in terms of the muscle strength.
