Hi everyone, I'm 13 weeks post c-section & the dreaded period bas finally hit. I have PCOS so I've never had regular cycles hence most likely the reason behind the late first period!
I'm suffering with really bad period cramps and they hurt particularly bad on my right side, almost where my ovary must be. I've always you know experienced the normal period cramps pre pregnancy, but this feels different! I'm just wondering whether the internal healing process from a c-section can be agitated by your period or is the first period always this painful? FTM here!

Not sure about anyone else but I heard a lot of horror stories about that first period after a c-section. I think in general the first couple after having a baby are supposed to be bad. I had my first one 22weeks pp and personally didn’t have it bad but had expected it to be horrific as a lot of people said theirs was bad. If you are seriously concerned I’d go to the GP to talk to them and Check xx
