First period since before pregnancy - strange pains?

[Summertimeflowers]

Hi all,

So I am 11 weeks postnatal and finally started my period after 10 days worth of light cramping.

I'm currently on day 2 and have the worst pains. It almost feels like a pressure around my lower abdomen area and feels a bit tender if I press down on it?

Any idea if this is something I should be overly concerned about or if I'm just being hit with a years worth of cramping all at once 😩

Definitely changed after childbirth. Got a "ping" when I was ovulating too.

Yeah my first periods after were different.

Did you have c-section?

@OrwellianTimes no C section no, it was a normal vaginal birth.

The pains are in my lower abdomen and making my stomach feel really tender to touch, such a weird and uncomfortable feeling 😕

Yes definitely felt more pain after having a child and had never experienced pain during ovulation pre pregnancy but that was almost worse than period pains afterwards.

Did any of you get the tenderness feeling just above your bikini line area? Think this is what's concerning me the most tbh
