I've only gotten my period twice since ds has been born, but both times, it not only hurt and was heavy, but the outside parts hurt too. It's mainly a swollen throbbing pain, that is worse when I'm on my feet a lot. Is this normal, has anyone had this? I hope that my uterus isn't coming out! Sorry, TMI.

Dont take this the wrong way, but your lucky you had your period!! my son turned 3 months on the 28th and I still havent had it yet, and im NOT breast feeding, never was. I took a test and thank got it was (-) but Im still waiting for it

This is my 4th so what I can tell you is that since I had kids its gotten VERY bad. Before I had CJ I was going thru a super plus tampon every 30min the 1st 2 days!!

mine is worse than that. I can't even leave the house or hardly be two steps away from a bathroom at all times for nearly the entire period. I discovered those instead cups which is still horrible but no tampon handle mine, not even super plus. I need to get surgery or something. But I stop and start nearly everyday so I have no idea when I am not going to be having mine, to get an appt. Soon I hope! it was bad enough prepregnancy.

Mine is the same way. Terrible throbbing down there, especially when I stand. It is also very heavy and I get the worst cramps. I just use a super tampon and change it often. I use a thin pad at the sametime just in case, and take lots of Advil. It's an aniti-inflamitory and really works for the swelling feeling and cramps. I was thinking about getting on the pill again becasue I am so miserable for the week. Back in the pill days I would have no cramps and a period that would last for a 1/2 a day.

Some of my mom friends have the throbbing swelling feeling also.
