2nd AF since giving birth - holy TMI Batman...
I thought my 1st AF would be the bad one, and it was fine - but OMG - this one is horrible!!!
I havent bled this much since giving birth - I am going through tampons in less than an hour - ones that I would be fine with for hours! I bled through my pants today (Thank GOD I decided to wear black pants today!!!!!!!) bled on my car seat (I found a towel in my trunk to sit on) bled through everything - everytime I changed my tampon, I'd be completely saturated less than an hour later!!!
Know what I decided to use??? The maternity pads I swiped from the hospital!
this is horrible - I feel so gross!!!

Yeah, I guess your body is saying "Welcome back AF!" with all it has
I actually used to get my period THAT bad every, other month before I had a baby, now I barely get it since she's born. It's so weird how our bodies respond to having a baby.

Re: 2nd AF since giving birth - holy TMI Batman...
Are you using super?
I was going though the hourly drill. When I called the ob/gyn emergency line (funny how I'll call for this but not for actual labor), I was told if it continued to try 2 tampons. I tried super which gave me a little more time.
It should get easier...

I AM using Super - I can't imagine getting 2 in there - I am not that "big"  Lucky I had a csection because a finger in my cervix was extremely painful....
Today, to be on the safe side, I wore a super tampax and an overnight Always pad - I thought I was being silly - but THANK God I did that - I just went to the bathroom and the pad was saturated!!!!  This is with the tampon!!!!
This is so awful....
