Question

So before baby my period would last 3-4 days max this time around at 6 months postpartum I had a period and I’m still bleeding I’ve been bleeding for 7 days now. Is this normal or should I mention to OB?

Answer

Mine last 2 weeks now…we’ve done testing and there’s nothing going on. Frustrating to say the least

Answer

Wow I came on this app to post the same question! My periods have been about 7-8 days the past few months. Way longer than I’m used to. Glad it’s not just me.

Answer

Mine are longer and a little heavier now too, but I used to get terrible cramps on my period. Those seem to have gone away. It’s crazy how our bodies change after baby.

Answer

Mine is the opposite. It used to be 7+ days every time but now it's only 3-4 days 🤷‍♀️ also I never used to get cramps at all but now I get the worst cramps for 2 days and need medicine. It's so weird

Answer

Definitely mention it to your OB but just know that it can take up to a year before our bodies get back to “normal” and it’s common that periods change after having a baby. I never had cramps before and light bleeding and now inexperience cramps every period and bleed heavier the first day or two.
