Delivered my baby 3 months back and still no period, im breastfeeding. Bit nervous about how the first one will feel after so long. Did it hurt more than normal for u guys?
My mother told me the first period after delivery can be quite heavy because the body is cleaning out, but to check with the doctor if the pain is unbearable. When I asked my gynac, she said it's totally normal for the first few cycles to be irregular and a bit painful. Take warm fluids and rest as much as possible.
It is so scary to feel that pain again and completely normal to worry about why it hurts so much. My anxiety was through the roof when my first period started because the cramps felt different. But please know your body went through huge changes and it's just adjusting, so breathe and take it easy.
Oh I feel you, after dealing with months of extreme nausea, getting a painful period feels so unfair. Honestly, mine was quite crampy and heavy, but staying hydrated and taking light walks really helped me cope. If the pain gets too much, don't suffer silently, just get a mild painkiller prescribed by your doctor.
Yaar, actually my first period after delivery was a total nightmare, so much cramping! I thought something was wrong but my friends said it's normal. It took like 2-3 cycles to get back to my usual flow, so don't worry too much.
During my discharge, the doctors at the hospital clearly told me that the postpartum period can be very unpredictable. I even called up my gynac's coordinator when my first cycle was super painful, and they reassured me it was normal. Definitely drop a message to your hospital team if you feel the pain is too severe.
I just got my first period last month after delivering my baby, and honestly, it did hurt quite a bit. The cramps were much stronger than my pre-pregnancy ones, and the flow was heavy. But it got better by the third day, so just hang in there!
