Post pregnancy periods

[KatnissMellark]

Are anyone elses way worse than they were pre DC? Getting horrible cramping, diarrhoea and headaches every month now where I used to completely breeze through them

Yep. Only way to solve them was by getting pregnant again... I was told that I possibly had endometriosis but conceived before official diagnosis. Don't just put up with it though, do go to your GP.

Yup....horrific....really really heavy and they were bad enough before DC. Really bad pmt as well. Got to say after 18 month it did settle down to pre DC 'normal'

Hmm that's interesting. DS is approx 18 months but periods only returned at 9 months so maybe that makes a difference.

Perhaps I can solve with pregnancy 😁

Mine were horrendous for a few months after they returned after my second child. She was 13 months old though & I figured it was probably because I hadn’t had a period for the best part of 2 years. I’ve always had very light periods with back ache just for the first day (sometimes the back ache would cause me to faint but I could manage with paracetamol). The first few after DD2 we’re really heavy, I couldn’t move for period pains (front & back - It felt like labour pain!) & lasted a lot longer. After a few they went back to my normal.
