I’m 9 months postpartum and my periods are still heavy whereas pre birth they were just regular.

I absolutely love food (normally) but the first trimester has really thrown me for a loop! I can’t take any strong smells or flavors, and seeing photos of food or reading menus makes me nauseous. Anyone else experience this? I really hope it improves soon!
