bllahhh...So i officially started my first period since delivery. Yuck. After Nathan my first period was almost 2 weeks long, and super heavy. They say they get worse after every birth, if you don't go back on BC. i guess we'll just wait and see.

I have a prescription at the drug store, i just haven't picked it up yet. Hopefully they will calm it down a little. nathan was almost 4 months before I go a period. Nicolas turned 8 weeks Wednesday-past.

ooh the joys of being a woman.......

You poor thing. I remember how super disgusting that first post baby one is. Lounge around in jammies and have a hot drink. Maybe a decaf tea?

Wow, mine are lighter and I don't get cramps like I used to. I had always heard that they got easier with each one. I guess it all just depends...

I really haven't experienced the full out period yet. I'm dreading it!

How are you feeling today, Sam? Are you in any pain?

I am feeling alright. rag-crampy. Nothing like I went through 8 weeks ago!!! On the bright side on things, atleast I can shove a tampon up there now, and not have to see it.
I am breastfeeding still, so I wonder why I got it back so damn early!!!!
