Mine started yesterday, 7 weeks after C section and it’s heavy and painful 😣 I’m taking paracetamol every 4 hrs

Mine was exactly the same as this came back so fast and so heavy 😩

Yes, they come back quickly. It is a horrible time and no one prepares for the aftermath of a c- section

Awful, heavy and so painful; worse than they were pre pregnancy - i’m 5 months pp and they do get better and more manageable but those first few periods afterwards… big fat no thank you.

After my last csection (3rd) theyve been the most painful and heavy ive ever had. I had to be hospitali once due to passing out from blood loss. Ive no idea why its so bad but now ive gone on the pill it seems to have gotten better. Ive only had one period since I started but it was the only one that didnt have me completely out of action for days. Might be worth trying it 😊

Mine was 8 weeks exactly, first period was fine but last few have been horrendous, baby is 6 months now x

I’m currently 6 months post partum and my periods are literally a crime scene, pre pregnancy I had the lightest flow that last 2-3 days and now it’s almost a week

Mine were a little heavy pre pregnancy and would last 3-4 days, since having my little girl (now 9 months) I have an even heavier period but still for 3-4 days, personally day 2 is the WORST so I just try to be prepared as possible 😂😭x

Mine was horrendously heavy and LONG for about 3 cycles and then they started to taper off. I actually went to the GP as I was soaking so many pads and was sent for an ultrasound etc and it was normal. My daughters 16 months and they became really regular again the last 5 months x

Same but mine was like it's hot and it's cold it's yes and it's no bc I thought it was my period but no I would be bleeding from the birth then stop then bleed🫠

Like normal but my normal is pretty heavy. But my heavy flow is lasting over 5 days

My periods started on day 42 which is 6weeks after c section. It was too heavy I had to change pads every 1hr. And extremely painful too
