First Period After Pregnancy

********** TW: BLOOD AND OPERATION MENTIONED ********** I've started bleeding today from my first period after pregnancy/having baby (Not missed this at all 😂) Does anyone know how long roughly your first period after having baby lasts? I read once you can bleed for a few weeks for your first one so am quite anxious as I'm due an operation mid November where if I am bleeding still, it could be pushed back which I don't want

Mine lasted my normal period length. But it can be very different for each person x

@Jess fingers crossed I'm the same as I would normally only bleed for a few days - thank you 😊

I'm currently on week 8 😂😂 apparently it's because I had my depo injection while on blood thinners 🤦‍♀️ wasn't warned about this at all

@Nikita oh no! I hope you're ok and the bleeding stops soon/you're not in too much discomfort 😊

@Lauren not in any pain or discomfort it's just annoying me now tbh

Mine lasted normal period length but was painful compared to usual. Hope you're OK.

@Nikita I bet 😔 hopefully not too much longer

@Sam That's good to know, thank you! I'm ok at the moment, just not missed any of this aha!

@Lauren hahha yes felt exactly the same.

Mine was about 10 days and veeeery heavy

@Sam perks of being female 🤦🏻‍♀️😂

With my first it lasted the same amount of time but was so much more painful and heavy 😭 hoping I have an easier time second time around.

@Jess Mine is light at the moment... Hoping it won't get much worse as pain is starting to creep in now 😔

@Char Fingers crossed for you! 🤞🏻

@Lauren mind was light the first day but got heavy from there. I had no pain though weirdly

@Jess How strange but I guess that was nice in some ways 😄

Mine was 7 days and my 2nd period was a week late and definitely not as bad

@Lauren sounds hopeful - thank you!
