ive just had my first AF since DD2 was born, it started sat arvo and finished last night was a little surprised it was so light, i used to have short light periods pre baby and off the pill but i still assumed the first one would be heavier.
so what were your first few cycles like? better/worse than before baby? did the get better/worse as the cycles went on
It seems like forever ago now for me, but I do remember AF being really light for the first couple and then heavier for the third cycle. It then went back to normal for me.
Mine are in that 'in-between' stage between having baby and 'back to normal', so atm they're very light, over quickly, and more frequent than usual (ie shorter than 28 day cycle). If you *feel* normal, then it is normal for you You might find the next couple are heavier and come closer together than what you're used to, I think it takes a few months for everything to settle down properly HTH!
My first one was horrific. I was in agony and was soaking through a super tampon just about hourly (sorry for TMI). It lasted for a good week. They did settle down a little bit but still so much heavier than before.
I must admit I'm not looking forward to my first one after DS because apparently they get worse with each pg.
I'm jealous of you!!
Light and short - and I got to use my Mooncup for the first time! That said, it was also more than two years after DS was born that it returned and less than 6 months later I was UTD again. My period was never heavy and was always mostly over by day 3, too.
