What were yours like and did they change from pre pregnancy?

I've gone from medium flow with extreme cramps (used to have to take codeine & paracetamol) to now heavy with only light-medium cramps which can manage.

Not sure if the heaviness is something that will lessen as am just on my second period following birth - but it's a nightmare, bleeding through super tampons and pads within an hour or two! Seriously looking at digging out my spare massive Tenna pants I had following birth!! Grin

Oh yes my last pregnancy left me with awful periods for about 4/5 months. They have settled down since and it seems to be they alternate between light one month/heavy the next.

Just be carful with iron levels of you have any other symptoms - I had a blood test and they had gone down to 4!!
