First period since baby was born

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
Guess what ladies?? Yep, you guessed it. I started my first period. It was 7 wks. and 1 day after I gave birth. (started on Wednesday) I'm just a little freaked out though about it because it's more red and blood like than any period I've ever had, and after my postpartum hemorrhage, I guess it is hard not to freak. It started Wed. and it was pink tinged at first, then changed to like a milk chocolate brown color (ugghh TMI sorry ladies) and now it is really red and heavy. Did any of your first periods start this soon and anything like I have described?? Randy is breastfeeding as well, but we didn't get that well figured out until he was 4 weeks old. I'm also a tiny bit crampy, but the real pain is in my thigh and where my leg meets my lower abdomen (sorry if bad description) I only remember having this pain a day or two after Randy was born and it stayed for a couple days and was SO PAINFUL that I could barely walk and almost fainted from the pain. It feels that exact same way again. I'm wondering if anyone else had pain like this either after having a baby or during their first period?? Could I have hurt my hip or pelvis during the delivery or something? Thanks in advance for any advice. I'm just kinda freaked a little about this whole thing.

If you are worried about it I would call your MD.

With my first I went on Depo at my 2 week post partum check up adn didn't get my first period back until after I went off the shot a year and a half later.

With my 2nd I also went on Depo and breast fed and with her I didn't get my period back until after I stopped nursing which was 4 months after I stopped Depo. (she was 13.5 mo)

So I really can't help you too much. I do remember that my first ones back were heavier and they lastest a bit longer - but no out of the ordianry pain related with them.
