So far I've had 2 periods. The time between 1st and 2nd was 42 days. Currently waiting for period #3!<br /> I was pretty shocked when I got mine back since I woke up to blood! It had soaked through my clothes onto the sheets.<br /> Bleeding was normal amount --maybe on the lighter side. Blood was bright red! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-postpartum-period-how-did-it-start#post-61912 Sat, 28 Jan 2012 19:41:09 +0000 Andrea 61912@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think my first was like normal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-postpartum-period-how-did-it-start#post-61910 Sat, 28 Jan 2012 19:39:40 +0000 Green Thumb 61910@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MH.Abroad: I'm an on-demand nurser when I'm around her (obviously) but at work I pump on a strict two hour schedule. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-postpartum-period-how-did-it-start#post-61909 Sat, 28 Jan 2012 19:36:53 +0000 Rubies 61909@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is 6 months old and I haven't had a period yet...This is a great thread because I'm wondering, too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-postpartum-period-how-did-it-start#post-61902 Sat, 28 Jan 2012 19:05:04 +0000 MH.Abroad 61902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you nurse on demand, or on a schedule? Three months seems on the early side for a full time nurser. Maybe I'm wrong though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-postpartum-period-how-did-it-start#post-61897 Sat, 28 Jan 2012 18:44:12 +0000 Green Thumb 61897@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: PMS the same and everything? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-postpartum-period-how-did-it-start#post-61840 Sat, 28 Jan 2012 16:18:12 +0000 heffalump 61840@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a normal first period. But I feel like there's no normal when it comes to this stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-postpartum-period-how-did-it-start#post-61838 Sat, 28 Jan 2012 16:14:11 +0000 Green Thumb 61838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 3 and a half months old and is exclusively breastfed. Over the past 2 weeks I've noticed consistent bright red spotting. It's not heavy enough to need heavy duty "protection" so to speak, but enough so that I have to wipe several more times than normal after using the restroom to feel "clean."</p> <p>Could this be my period starting? It's just been a long time of only spotting and nothing else. Thanks! </p>
