Post pregnancy period-vent

[mfren]

How long does that first period after pregnancy usually last? Normally I have a very light period that lasts for about 4 days. This first postpartum period is ridiculous! It's been 9 DAYS. It was super heavy for 4 of the days, got lighter day 7, I thought it was gone yesterday morning, and all of a sudden it's back full force that evening! I'm so so so tired of bleeding! I want my normal period back god d a m m i t!

My first initial bleed after birth lasts about 2 weeks. it will probably be horrible after this pregnancy though because i haven't had a cycle.since december. Idk how i goy pregnant in june... But anyways if you are bleeding super heavy watch for signs of anemia. My iron always drops during that time

Sorry to disappoint but it can take up to a year to get back to normal. I had one lasting a week at 9w pp then two weeks later had another lasting 3 days x
