    Really heavy AF after baby?

    Hellooo.. yes.. have discovered the joy again of really heavy AF. Not since I was a teen (and then put on the pill) have I had them this heavy. Last night i woke up at 3.30am to discover a leak - omg - how embarrassment - haven't had this happen since I was a teen!!! (So btw, if anyone knows how to remove blood off a new white mattress, would greatly appreciate any ideas!)

    Has this happened to anyone else? They were fine after I had DS and now after DD .. I can feel it running out of me (its GROSS)..

    I'm thinking of going to the doc though....

    sorry for TMI.. but I love yas... so you get the pleasure of knowing.. hehe

    Hahahaha thanks for sharing with us!
    And to be honest with u - mine is exactly the same - ive even had really bad period pain - had to go out and by some naprogesic - now i havent needed that since i was a teen and before the pill!
    As for the matteress i just got out the warm soapy water and that seemed to work - but lucky for me my accident wasnt too big!!

    You're welcome! hehe

    Yeah I'm getting the period pain too - and didn't get that either since I went on the pill and didn't get it between having DS and falling pregnant with DD.. most bizarre.. even ovulating hurts!!

    Warm soapy water huh.. will have to try it!

    It sucks doesn't it?

    I was the same, AF was way worse after bub #2. It went back to normal after DS1, but decided to pay out on me after DS2 .

    Hope it passes quickly!

    mel - try to get as much of the actual stain out with cold water first - just plain water on a cloth - warm water will alter the blood protein and can actually help it to set in the fabric!

    can't offer anything else - hope the pain settles soon hun...

    I'm the same too Mel. I have been getting the ovulation pains too, quite badly actually! I've never had O pain. And the period pain, omg! I haven't had aches and pains like that for years! And I'm a grumpy b!tch! Poor DH. I was sooo counting on AF not returning til at least when DS went onto solids, but no! Came back after 9wks... with a vengence!

    lol hugs hun. Sounds like my mum. She is just so heavy and has to put up with it. She will soak through a tampon AND a pad in a couple of hours.
    Good luck at the doctor!
