First period after a baby

Kelsey

Hey everyone - I just got my first period after having my son. He’s almost 16 months old, so it’s been quite a while! It was so heavy for four days, then stopped. Then a week later, I had quite a bit of discomfort when having sex with my husband, and then had another period for four days...

I feel like my uterus has been achey and sore for the past week, and I have no idea what’s going on, but sex hurts right now... think someone poking a really sore muscle the day after a hard workout and how painful it can be.

Anyone else have similar experiences post baby?? I don’t know what to expect, and don’t want to call my OB-GYN the second something hurts, but I don’t know what’s normal or not after a baby.
