Cramp-less periods

This is a strange one but pre pregnancy I had horrendously painful periods, however post birth so far I've had no cramps with my periods (had three periods so far since birth) and im actually concerned that I've lost all feeling in my womb if that makes sense! Did anyone else experience pain free periods since having a baby? I know I should be happy but something feels off!

My periods are defo less painful after childbirth, thinknits quite common. The cervix doesn't fully close over again so your body doesn't need to cramp as much 😁

I had this after the birth of my first. Went from excruciating pain to nothing at all.

Had my second a few months ago and the cramps and backache are definitely back although nowhere near as bad as they used to be

Yep, massive reduction in period pain after my 1st and none at all after my 2nd. Now completely pain free periods (still get low blood pressure though). Both of my births were planned C-sections so my cervix has remained firmly shut

I had this and assumed it was because the pregnancy helped with my endometriosis

Such a relief to know it isn't just me! When I googled it everyone seemed to say theirs got worse so thought I was the only one 😂
