Shorter, longer? More or less irregular? PMS? Cramping?
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!

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

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!
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.
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!

Period cramps have all but gone, just a bit on the first day (instead of days leading up to it) & ovulation pains appeared instead! Also cycles are much shorter, so around 28/29 days instead of 34/35 days.

Cycles became shorter - 26 days versus 28. Bleeding is now heavier and lasts one day longer than it used to.

Mine are the same when it comes to cycle length and length of bleeding but the bleeding is a lot stronger now.
