PP period

Started my first PP period and it is the worst ever. I’m bleeding so much! 😭 I’m getting cramps too.
I’m 11 weeks pp.
I am so thankful that I got my period though because to me it’s a sign that my hormones are starting to level out… which means I can get back in shape and my body hopefully won’t fight me on it 😂

Did it last a long time

Interesting! My first PP period was the opposite - super light. I had one light, one heavy, and one more light day and it was over. Before getting pregnant I typically bled steadily for 4 days.

Omg I’m going through the exact same and I’m 7 weeks pp

Yes 6 weeks pp my period came and was extremely heavy and painful for a few days and then it lightened up, I’m not on my 2nd period and it’s normal

I had my first pp period at 6 weeks and it was so heavenly and lasted a whole week. My periods before baby were always light. Mainly just spotting and only last like 4 days if that.
This one I bleed heavier then after birth. But I did have a c section. And I think they clean some of that out after. Because after birth I didn’t bleed very heavy at all and it only lasted a week.

Is this normal?

Is this little red bit on my section scar normal? It’s not oozing anything, doesn’t hurt but it’s the only bit on my scar like it so just curious! (19 days PP)
Thank you in advance! 🥰

Help

I was getting pretty painful period cramps and during those, I had painful lower back cramps. I had these on and off for like a few hours so from about 10:30pm to 1am?

I’ve had no show, or anything like that.

Is this braxton hicks or early labour pains?

Labour??

I’ve had on/off mild period cramps since 9 last night, very irregular and very mild, but I just had one that woke me up. My waters haven’t gone and nor has my mucous plug… but could this be a sign that it’s close?! I’m 40+3 and desperate to meet her!

Fed up

Anyone else just feeling fed up in general? I just never feel happy anymore. Wake up dreading what the day ahead of us will be like.
Little one will be 6 week tomorrow

Early waters/pre term labour?

I can’t get checked until later today unfortunately. I can’t tell if I’m leaking/starting early. I definitely think I’m having braxton hicks yesterday and today.. i have some pain in my back but she is quite low down so hoping it’s just pressure, baby was a little quieter yesterday but she’s back to more normal movements today, but my underwear just seems to get so wet, especially after going to the bathroom. And I honestly can’t work out the smell, I’m pretty sure it’s just discharge/urine leaking but there’s that worry in my mind a little. Are there any other ways to know/check if it could be the start of it all?
