Are menustral cycles more painful after you have had a baby?!
Question: I have always had painful periods. I just had my first child 2 months ago and I have been bleeding off and on with mild cramping. Im not sure if I have had a period yet or not. Should I look forward to painful cramps like I used to have before I got pregnant?

I used to have horrible pain with my cycle, cramping and my breasts would be so tender I couldn't sleep without a soft bra - if they moved or got bumped, it was agony.
By the second or third true cycle, no more breast pain and the cramping was extremely mild. So far, 14 years later, still no breast pain and minimal cramping. I also breastfed.
It's probably different for everyone, so you'll find out soon enough.
I have always had painful cramps before and after pregnancy. But sometimes things like certain birth controls can cause more serious cramps, i think it just depends on the person.
If your painful periods are always heavy, they may be caused by endometriosis, and you may get some relief after childbirth. I recommend you see a doctor, preferably female, who will work to determine why your periods are causing you so much pain. Something can almost certainly be done about it.
I remember the first period after I had my son, I couldnt breath in or out, it felt like someone was pushing a knife through my stomach. My midwife said that it was my womb getting back to normal, but it was a horrible feeling.
It was only like that for the first month and now they are fine.
