Yes... this is my pad. Hey ladies. I'm curious how your first periods after birth were? I just started mine a few days ago & it's so HEAVY. Today I leaked through badly &soaked a pad like this in an hour. I'm literally wearing an adult diaper rn. Help.

Question

Answer

That's what a normal period looks like for me but with huge clots falling out. It's crazy.

Answer

I know it sucks to deal with but nothing to worry about! Most of the time it takes 1 to 3 cycles to return to normal, sometimes more than that. Mine took about a year or more. If it goes on for more than 3 months you can see if your doctor has suggestions to help! Some women's periods totally change after birth so it could be that your periods will just be heavier now, but probably won't be as heavy as the first few after birth!

Answer

Totally normal! Your body will soon begin to normalize itself as time goes by. The first 2 periods are tough but after that they are very normal.

Answer

Mine was like that until about 7 months after my son. I would bleed through tampons and pads and have horrible cramps.

Answer

That's normal.

Answer

My dr always told me if you can soak 2 pads within an hour to call in and be seen. But other than that it’s normal.

Answer

You poor thing!! I don’t remember much about my vaginal birth (it was 13 years ago) but it seems like mine was bad too. Just remember-if at any point you’re uncomfortable or scared-check with your doc for reassurance. ❤️
