First period after birth.

[Munz]

Came today - woohoo! explains the tirdness, grumpiness, eating shed loads of choccy! lol.

anyhow it's come after 18 weeks, and the blood is bright red - is this right? (i was expecting brownish after it being so long and all) althou that's prob a nieve attitude to take. anyhow, any ideas on if it will be the same as b4 birth? b4 I had 2/3 days heavy then 2 days of a light bit then nothing and cycles every 26 days ish.

also prob another nieve one but is it ok to use tampax, or should I wait a bit longer? all stitches/thrush/infections have gone afaik.

sorry prob all stupid q's, but i'm v excited for seeing my period after a year! lol.

Hi Muz, sounds ok, i had mine 4 weeks after birth, very red and heavy.

Now its back to normal.

Munz not 'Muz'

course I am, first one in a year - it explains a lot! also I feel like a woman not a mum! loll. i'm weird I know! - althou not sure if the milk will change cos i've had some delightful nappies from joey! lol.
