First period after birth

May be a bit tmi. But I’m 6 weeks almost 7 postpartum and have started yesterday. But it seems to be really heavy, like standing up and feel it sorta thing. Has anyone else had an extra heavy period as the first one?

My first period last time wasn’t bad but the second one I thought I was dying it was so so heavy! I couldn’t leave the house for 3 days x

Mine were really heavy, painful and irregular for the first 6 months of periods post birth, they did eventually settle x

My periods after birth were worse than lochia (bleeding after birth) with my first. My lochia with my second is just slowing down now but fingers crossed it’s not as bad.

Who else is still waiting?

I suspect we'll all go on the full moon at the end of the month 🌕

I'm 39 weeks since yesterday and have a wedding to go to on Thursday 🙈🙈 I really don't want to miss it, or go into labour that morning, my daughter is flower girl. Have a flowy nursing dress to accommodate both potential scenarios. Did some curb walking yesterday but still nothing. I have lost parts of my plug I think, not sure how much... We prepped for a homebirth, so I'm looking forward to waking up at home in my own bed with a baby. If I don't go into labour today I don't know if it would be better to go into labour after the wedding but it's so nerve wrecking thinking Murphy's Law will be sure to get involved!!

Nausea in pregnancy

I’m almost 14 weeks pregnant, have struggled through nausea during first trimester with the help of nausea meds and luckily haven’t thrown up. The last week I noticed I was feeling better so I stopped taking ondansetron for a couple days and then stopped restavit last night. This morning woke up and randomly out of no where got this wave of nausea which caused me to dry retch for the first time. I am spiralling now wondering whether it was from not taking the restavit or if things are going to get worse going into second trimester?

What are you going to miss about being pregnant?

Even though I’m excited to meet him, I think I’ll miss his rolls I feel 😭 I love when I feel him glide his arm or hand across my belly
