So I had my first post baby "well woman exam"

[sara76]

I was nervous because of the scale. It's been ( I think ) 18 weeks since my 6 month post op appt where I decided that I had 20 lbs of baby weight to lose, and at one point between then and now I was up 11. At my appt I was "only" up 4 but for what I've been eating is pretty good, and since I'm nursing my Dr is not going to yell at me. I had to bring the baby but she was really good. I asked when I made the appt if it was ok and they said moms bring the babies all the time. My internal check where the Dr pushes around to check ovaries and stuff was a lot more uncomfortable than ever before and I wonder if it will always be like that or if it will get better each year I don't produce. I didn't ask. Anyway. There is a little preview of what y'all pregos have in store

I am getting ready to schedule my first lady exam since my 6 week check up after having DS. DS is now 10 months old so its been a long time since I have had anyone check that area. I hope it isnt too bad.

However, I have gotten 2 periods since stopping BFing a couple months ago and they have been fine. This one that I just got on Monday has been TERRIBLE! I have not had any cramps but the flow (TMI) has been like a constant waterfall. I need to get back on BC pills ASAP!

Anyone else have anything like this?

I got an IUD at my first lady exam after DD. Even with it, I had a horrible period once after giving birth. It was a few months after it started back up.

I have had one terrible AF since I got my IUD. But it was terrible PMS, too. It did get better. Not much better, but better.

My cycles were crazy pp. some super heavy, some super light, some short and others crazy long. I hated not knowing when to expect AF! And no joke, she returned at exactly 5 weeks pp!
