A member asked:
What does it mean if my first postpartum menstrual cycle is only 3 days long when my normal cycle generally lasts a week? is it normal for your cycle to change after having a baby?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The first post partum menstrual period will always be different than pre pregnancy as the last of the decidualized endometrium is often ejected at that first menses. Many patients note a heavier than usual first period rather than your experience.
