Just curious really, I just my first AF after Jake and I had been told by so many people that it would be quite similiar to lochia (ie/ quite heavy) but it was barely there (lighter than my normal AF) so was just wondering if many others had light AF's after baby.... -------------

Mine was really light and short and was 8 months after D was born with none since. Sounds quite normal as I've heard more people say they have them lighter rather than heavier. ------------- Mum to two wee boys |

Mine was horrendous! Like 9 months worth (sorry TMI) just poured out of me for 10 days straight. I've never ever had a period like that in my life, and it was about 3-4 weeks after the lochia had finished.
A no-alcohol wedding in Dargaville was the perfect place for it to be there in full force too. NOT!! I didn't breastfeed and had an elective c-section so no idea if those two things had any bearing on it at all. |

I still haven't got mine back and I stopped BF at 5 months. I wonder when mine will start up again. ------------- http://lilypie.com">
