A member asked:
Is it normal for your first period after having a baby to be really heavy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Definitely: Pretty much you've gone over 10 months without having a cycle and that 1st cycle will typically be heavier and more painful. As long as you are not bleeding more than a pad/hour, just stay hydrated.
