It was terrible for me after #2 (and even when it returned after a D&amp;c miscarriage) but really do not remember it being bad with #3. So I’d be prepared for it to be heavy next month (mine usually are variable for a few months before settling back to normal) but hopefully it’ll be easier this time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/af-after-pregnancy#post-2916172 Thu, 04 Jun 2020 12:38:26 +0000 Clementine12 2916172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I remember AF being nightmarish after DD1s birth. Just came back after DD2 (same timeline, 6 mos later) and it's been...pretty easy? 1 heavy day, 2 light days and some spotting.</p> <p>What was your experience with your cycle returning? Am I in for it next month? </p>
