heavier periods following childbirth?

[vic891]

ds is 8mo and since my periods returned (5 months ago despite exclusive bf) they have been far heavier than before - sorry if tmi but tampons lasting a couple of hours at most. even in the night i'm having to change them at the start of each period. anyone else?

Yes...ds is now 2.8 months and they are still heavier than they ever were before I had him...

definitely - much heavier and more painful. Another reason why I'm trying to get pregnant again!

Definitely but shorter too, as though it all somehow comes out faster now! First 2 days v v heavy, super + tampons last 1-2 hours, then eases off, more painful too.
