Post Partum periods

Has anyone found their second period after baby to be worse? First one was absolutely fine but this second one is a killer! Horrendous cramps and mood and so so heavy, going through Super Plus tampons every two hours and using massive pads to!

Glucose Test Results

I had my GD test on Thursday and havent heard anything back at all and cant see anything on the BadgerNotes App. I was just wondering how long it took for others to see their results as I have also just noticed my phone number is listed wrong on one section of the app (just text my midwife about this).
