Menstrual cycle after emergency c section

Yes. I don’t remember exactly when it stopped being painful I never really experienced period cramps until after birth and they were HORRIBLE. I wanna say around month 4 it stopped and I was never a medication girly but Tylenol helped. But honestly time is the real cure 😊

I had an elective nearly a year ago. I think it was the first 3/4 were excruciating and HEAVY too. After that they seemed to go back to my pre pregnancy normal, maybe a tiny bit more painful but nothing like what it was like those first few months

I got my cycle around 10 weeks PP and I wanna say it was painful until like 9 months PP. I just assumed the stretching of the organ to fit baby paired with slicing it open had something to do with it. I also found I bled more, longer and in bigger clots. I’m 2 years PP and thankfully that has also slowed down. I hardly bled last cycle. Back to my pre-baby ways completely I think.

Are you bsf? I’m 11 weeks pp and mine still never come 😭

I did until 7 weeks but not anymore

After my first emergency section, when my period came I almost had to call an ambulance and that’s coming from someone who has suffered with severe, heavy endometriosis periods with huge clots since I was a child! I thought it was the end for me. I was genuinely paralysed for a short while with it. They slowly got ‘better’ (still horrific for the normal person) but yeah, take care 😭 🙏🏼

Ok this is awful but so reassuring - I went to the ER for my first one last month and truly thought something was wrong it was so scared but everything was ok. Thank you for sharing this because I just feel so seen it’s wild what we go through and I’m so sorry you experienced this too

Yes, my periods were heavier and more painful…I had cramps before, but after my c-section, they were more intense, and also, every time I had to 💩 during my period, it hurt so much. I don’t remember when it stopped…maybe a year and a half post-partum, if I had to estimate. I still get bad cramps, but not every time I get my period, and it doesn’t hurt anymore to go to the bathroom. After my c-section, I would get bigger clots during my period, and I still do get bigger clots now.
