What was everyone's first period after given birth like?

I have heard some horror and I have been dreading coming on. Yesterday I came on for the first since having my child, he is 5 months old. I have had no pain and I am pretty light. I gave been exclusively breastfeeding him and also started to pump recently. Iis this normal for and period. I normally have horrendous periods,that were pretty heavy. Also when I went for my pregnancy scan the doctors notice that I had two large fibroid as well. Which she said is link to heavy periods.

My first period came 3m PP, was so fine!! Think the breastfeeding kept them light/medium and completely uneventful when usually I’m doubled over with bad periods and bladder pain. I have to say though, about a year PP, they turned evil again .
