I always had heavy anway, but after Paris i found i got it really heavy, and felt horrible.

After having Ayja i am worse again.. usually have 1st day ok-ish, 2nd day I usually try to not go anywhere or do anything, just stick near home can go through half a pack or more of supers that day. then on from there.. nothing less that 8 days. Sometimes i just think that maybe instead of mike doing the vastectomy thing i should just get it all taken out (lol, but know that would still have it's own problems..lol) It's getting expensive... i only hope my girls don't suffer the same as i do when they get older. All my other sisters don't cos they were on the pill for so long, even though they don't take it now, it's still 2 days for them that's all..
kinda jealous but can't take the pill etc.

Sucks that you didn't get much break though Emma. hope it settles down for you.. horrible when you have babies to look after.. it's the last thing you want to have to deal with!.]]> Thu, 28 Dec 2006 21:19:18 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4991&PID=96884&title=af-after-babyies-tmi-warning#96884 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4991&PID=96878&title=af-after-babyies-tmi-warning#96878 Author: busymum

I had exactly the same thing Emma, my first AF was right after the 5 weeks of lochia had cleared to nothing and it was crampy and horrible and totally bright red, I was freaking out as my scar was hurting like it has never hurt before. It is completely normal though!]]> Thu, 28 Dec 2006 09:16:56 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4991&PID=96758&title=af-after-babyies-tmi-warning#96758 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4991&PID=96682&title=af-after-babyies-tmi-warning#96682 Author: Maya

Thanks for that. Today is day 5 and a few more spots but nothing like a normal AF at all. And nope, no contraception here - thinking about having the IUD put in but haven't made a decision yet.]]> Wed, 27 Dec 2006 18:29:04 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4991&PID=96682&title=af-after-babyies-tmi-warning#96682 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4991&PID=96675&title=af-after-babyies-tmi-warning#96675 Author: luna

I had PP bleeding for about 10 weeks, then 1 week off, then AF made an appearance (I think .. still not sure really) tht was back in sept. I was like you - a bit of spotting for a few days, a day of full on AF, then nothing for 2 days and so on. Lasted 2 weeks!

Anyway, was on the verge of calling the doctor to check with them, when it went away completely and AF didn't return until November. NOw have it again and things are much more normal.]]> Wed, 27 Dec 2006 17:04:19 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4991&PID=96675&title=af-after-babyies-tmi-warning#96675 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4991&PID=96658&title=af-after-babyies-tmi-warning#96658 Author: LockieandLiam

I agree with busymum and speaking from experience mine have been really strange since having Lachlan (although he was 7 months when I got it back). This time its been like a river compared to the others I've had I couldn't believe it - and for Christmas as well!!]]> Wed, 27 Dec 2006 15:20:41 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4991&PID=96658&title=af-after-babyies-tmi-warning#96658 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4991&PID=96625&title=af-after-babyies-tmi-warning#96625 Author: EthansMummy

The last few days I have been having cramps but only bleed in the morning, by lunch time it has gone away. How long after having baby do you get back to "normal" periods?]]> Wed, 27 Dec 2006 11:55:56 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4991&PID=96625&title=af-after-babyies-tmi-warning#96625 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4991&PID=96621&title=af-after-babyies-tmi-warning#96621 Author: Paws

My first couple of periods were quite heavy but it seems to be settling down again now back more to what it used to be like.

Honestly though, my first period after Maddie I thought I was bleeding out or something!]]> Wed, 27 Dec 2006 11:37:08 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4991&PID=96621&title=af-after-babyies-tmi-warning#96621 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4991&PID=96614&title=af-after-babyies-tmi-warning#96614 Author: james

for me i stopped bleeding when kayla was between 6-7 weeks. i started spotting on 14th november (kayla was 3 months) and it would last a day or two then stop, then start up again a few days to a week later and it did it until yesterday, got a great christmas present from my body- the real thing. and its yuck too. i have been really uncomfortable, bloaty and crampy for the last 6 weeks since the spotting started, feel like tucking up in bed ]]> Tue, 26 Dec 2006 20:41:36 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4991&PID=96580&title=af-after-babyies-tmi-warning#96580 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4991&PID=96576&title=af-after-babyies-tmi-warning#96576 Author: busymum

I think the first one or two can be a bit weird as your body cleans out and all that stuff, they are usually heavier with/without smallish clots. I suspect it will come to "normal" by the end of the week and next time around you'll be sweet.

I'm not sure if you're taking any contracaeption that may change all that, so just presuming that you aren't.]]> Tue, 26 Dec 2006 20:28:30 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4991&PID=96576&title=af-after-babyies-tmi-warning#96576 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4991&PID=96567&title=af-after-babyies-tmi-warning#96567 Author: Maya

Yep, the hag has shown, lucky me only got 5 weeks off by the time the PP bleeding stopped

Anyways, my question is this: I had 2 days of spotting, then one day of nothing at all and today a bit of cramping and a sudden gush. What is up with that? Is it normal or should I be worried that not all of the placenta etc. did come away even tho the scan looked OK?

ETA: after Maya I never had AF till 4 mths and it was a 'normal' prepregnancy one.
