Had my first baby 7 weeks ago now and last week, so 6 weeks after birth, my period returned. Everything I'd read was about crazy heavy periods after pregnancy so I was prepared for a horror show! Yet this has been lighter than my pre-pregnancy periods?! For context previous periods weren't heavy in the way some people struggle with flooding etc but on the worst two days it was a super plus tampon situation. This week at the worst point a regular tampon was fine. Now obviously I'm not complaining about this! Just wondered if anyone else experienced similar? Could it be possible that I'm going to be blessed with lighter periods from now on? Or is my body tricking me and I'm in for a hell of a shock next month?!
