My first period was basically non existent, 3-4 days of barely anything I just got away with period underwear, no pain no nothing. My second one was heavier but basically same as my normal periods, still pretty much no pain

mine came back around 2 months PP when they say your first period is HEAVY they wasn’t exaggerating🤦🏻‍♀️plenty of painkillers too the pain wasn’t unbearable but it was intense x

3 months pp and still no periods. I am breastfeeding so maybe this is why 🤷🏻‍♀️

I got mine at 12 weeks and it was maybe a little heavier than normal but no pain. It did last for 8 days though and previously mine only lasted 4.

My first was so light and only for one day. My second was so heavy I had to buy nappies. I’m now waiting for my third but I’m prepared this time 🥴

I’m 4 months postpartum breast feeding & just got mine !

I’ve never suffered with heavy bleeding or painful periods this first one since having my boy has seemed like my normal period pre baby ! I wouldn’t stress

Thank you so much ladies for all your input! I think I got myself all worked about how painful and heavy they can be 💛 I appreciate all the replies!
