How did pregnancy change your periods after you’d had your baby?
I used to have very painful cramps prior to having a child and now I have no cramps but very heavy bleeding😩

My period before use to be extremely painful, the first and sometimes the second day I would be on painkillers and have to just lay in bed with light bleeding - after having a baby my cramps disappeared completely but same as you heavy bleeding - I’ll take heavy bleeding over the cramps any day😭3 years on since having my son and still the same

My periods were heavy and very red/fresh but then I got the coil back and it’s lighten my period but it’s very dark in colour now

My period became more regular but I get ovulation pain. I'm now 4 weeks pp again. Be interested to see if any different this time

I went from having 26 day cycle with an easy 4 day bleed, to having nothing but clots and they come when they feel like it....then again that could be peri menopause 🤣
But after birth I did have to have a colposcopy to clear a hormone imbalance on my cervix

Extremely heavy pp

I had a baby 4 months ago my cramps was very painful leading up to period but not so heavy periods untill last month they was heavy and painful and this month I was late by a number of days think it’s your hormones lovely x
