Sorry, but can i ask a question about post-natal periods?

[breakfastinbed]

Just restarted periods after a year of breastfeeding DD2 and they seem bizarrely heavy or at least far heavier than ever before.

Is it normal for there to be a change like this after birth? Or could it just be that, to be blunt, pushing out a blinking great head means that tampons no longer fit ...?

(Like i say, sorry for asking.)

Yes its normal. your womb hasnt "shed" its lining for nrly two years...so yes.it should settle down within the first few periods.

Aah. Ok, thanks for the reassurance GG.

brekki- mine were heavier and stayed like that for aaaages after ds1 (ebf for 22months) nothing to worry about- just as i got back to normal, dd was being expected!
