A member asked:
How heavy should a period be the first few days?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Varies: The first day of bleeding may be quite heavy, with some women needing to change pads every hour. If you are having to change pads even more frequently than this, please consult a doctor. The bleeding should lessen each day.
