Poor you Dionne
I had my first one last week & it was really light & I didn't get any period pains at all which is unlike me! Hoping they stay that way.

 

I hate periods, just finished my second one in 3 weeks Grrr get pregnant soon Dionne and you'll have even less heehee Prove that medium right

My first one post-baby was awful too. It was so painful and I got all tearful thinking that somehow I'd messed it up and was doomed to a life of worse periods than I'd ever had BUT after that one they have been 100% better than I have ever had in my life! Very little pmt and almost no pain- yippee! I used to have such bad period pain, so bad that I was 10 hours in labour until the pain levels were worse than what I was used to every month which is ridiculous (I should have gone to a Drs years ago but how do you know that your pain is unusual? I just thought all over the counter painkillers were rubbish!) So on the plus side once things settle down they might be easier than ever....
