After about 6 months, they got normal. I've also had a couple losses, and after those, it got heavier, lasted longer, and my cycles got really irregular (ranging from 28 to 38 days). So it's been kind of all over the place for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-period-1#post-2551086 Wed, 18 May 2016 10:17:38 +0000 snowjewelz 2551086@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine was super heavy/painful too. Stayed like that until I got pregnant again (for like 8-ish months?) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-period-1#post-2551056 Wed, 18 May 2016 09:40:18 +0000 babynumber1 2551056@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: Thats encouraging. I am on my 3rd pp period, so maybe it will even out soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-period-1#post-2551049 Wed, 18 May 2016 09:34:00 +0000 justjules 2551049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Before baby my period was super heavy with horrible cramps. I've only had two cycles PP but they are considerably lighter with minor cramps. I used to have 4/5 days of heavy now it's 1/2 of medium with an additional 4/5 days of spotting. so a little longer but I'll take it. As I get more cycles PP we'll see how it evolves. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-period-1#post-2551008 Wed, 18 May 2016 08:57:57 +0000 Mamaof2 2551008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My periods after #2, also a repeat c/s and tubal were much heavier for about a year and then they went back to normal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-period-1#post-2551002 Wed, 18 May 2016 08:54:57 +0000 hilsy85 2551002@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my first period post LO2 was WAY heavier and way longer tha before. Hoping it goes back to how it was soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-period-1#post-2551000 Wed, 18 May 2016 08:52:39 +0000 Alba4 2551000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine was a little lighter than it had been pre-pregnancy. We'll see if it's different after #2. Sorry yours is worse! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-period-1#post-2550994 Wed, 18 May 2016 08:46:50 +0000 babynumber1 2550994@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did you have changes to your period when it returned postpartum. Mine is drastically different after baby #2. It is a 8/9 day cycle and super, super heavy. Prior to baby it was 3/4 days and not very heavy. I had a RCS and a tubal ligation, so I'm not sure if those have caused such a drastic change. </p> <p>This new change is for the birds! </p>
