Bleeding is now heavier and lasts one day longer than it used to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-is-af-different-for-you-after-baby#post-2391612 Wed, 16 Dec 2015 23:47:01 +0000 Nutella 2391612@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Period cramps have all but gone, just a bit on the first day (instead of days leading up to it) &amp; ovulation pains appeared instead! Also cycles are much shorter, so around 28/29 days instead of 34/35 days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-is-af-different-for-you-after-baby#post-2391611 Wed, 16 Dec 2015 23:46:22 +0000 Nutella 2391611@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <br /><p><i>This comment has been deleted by the original poster.</i></p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-is-af-different-for-you-after-baby#post-2391225 Wed, 16 Dec 2015 15:54:18 +0000 autumnlove 2391225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The same. Frequent and heavy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-is-af-different-for-you-after-baby#post-2391224 Wed, 16 Dec 2015 15:53:22 +0000 artsyfartsy 2391224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My first two periods I seriously thought I was hemorrhaging. Lol I was concerned and thought I might have to go see my doctor...but apparently it's normal!</p> <p>About a year after my periods returned they have become extremely textbook. Exactly 28 days. I O exactly in the middle. I can feel symptoms for every step of my cycle...but I may just be more aware of what is going on now that I've TTC before and had a baby. </p> <p>The bleeding is actually the same as pre-baby...heavy on the first two days but tapers off. Period only lasts 5 days now instead of 7. Wee! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-is-af-different-for-you-after-baby#post-2391219 Wed, 16 Dec 2015 15:52:08 +0000 snowjewelz 2391219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got mine back 9 mo pp and it's a bigger and badder. But then again, I used to be on BCP so my periods were always heavy/bad cramps. But I feel like I bleed a river these days :meh: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-is-af-different-for-you-after-baby#post-2391213 Wed, 16 Dec 2015 15:50:43 +0000 buttermilk 2391213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Shorter, longer? More or less irregular? PMS? Cramping?</p> <p>I'm 4 months pp and woke up today with what I assume is my period. Fairly heavy bleeding but no cramping or any other usual symptoms. Before baby I always had horrible cramping! </p>
