How to Survive Your First Post-Partum Period

After almost 15 glorious months without a period, Aunt Flo is officially back post-baby. As much as it is unpleasant, getting my period back reminds me of exactly what my body is capable of. It seems like less of a burden now and more of an “Oh yeah, I did that!” moment. The glass is definitely half full for me right now.

Here’s a little bit of what I have been going through to help you compare to your own journey and a few items that make it less of a pain. As always, you know your body better than anyone! If you feel like something isn’t right, be sure you reach out to your doctor to discuss your concerns. As an Amazon Affiliate, I earn a commission on qualifying purchases.

Is the first post-partum period worse than normal?

Yes. For me, it was a mega period. My flow has been much heavier during my post-partum periods, almost filling several pads throughout the day. I have also noticed some larger, nickel-sized clots when I previously had none. The fatigue, headaches, and the bloating are also on another level, as if a normal period isn’t bad enough. I’m on my second post-partum period and I don’t see an improvement yet.

Invest in Quality Pads

I have recently become extremely picky about my pads. During my 6-week healing period, I was using very mainstream synthetic pads daily and, to be honest, I really hated how they felt, how they absorbed, and even how they smelled. All of a sudden, I was really concerned by how “toxic” they felt to me. Although I’m sure they’re fine, I wanted something more natural and found the Honey Pot Company brand. Their pads are 100% natural, pH balanced, and made with clean cotton.

These pads feel utterly magical. I never thought I’d say that about a pad, but they are infused with herbs like mint to create a cooling effect you can actually feel. They smell absolutely divine and are quite absorbent. I have them in regular and overnight and plan to use these post baby number two instead of making my own padsicles.

They are super comfortable for an overnight pad, they adhere great and they smell amazing. I noticed other reviews mentioned a burning sensation but I didn’t experience that, I have extremely sensitive skin so I was very worried but I’ve used these pads for two cycles with no issues. I don’t know if it’s because everything is very tucked up on me (innie), so there’s nothing but regular skin touching the pad or what but they definitely don’t give me an issue. I only wear pads to sleep, I use tampons during the day, and I used to dread getting up in the morning and having to change the pad because it would always be very unpleasant. Ladies know what I’m talking about, 7 to 8 hours of flow doesn’t smell the best but with these pads I don’t smell anything unpleasant. In fact the first couple times I was half asleep and forgot I was using a new brand, and when I changed my pad I was trying to figure out what in my bathroom smelled so nice like lavender lol. So needless to say I really like these and don’t see myself ever switching from them. The only thing I can see as a negative is if you are wearing these all the time and have heavy flow, because they lack that plasticky layer that store bought pads have which keeps the part that touches you feeling dry all the time. One time in the middle of the night during heavy flow I had to wake up to go the bathroom, and when I pulled my panties back up it was a very cold wet unpleasant sensation. So just be aware of that, they are made out of natural materials which absorb a lot but it stays wet feeling so if that bothers you, you may need to change these a lot more frequently. I still stand by that I think they are a great choice, I know what I was younger and I used pads all the time I wish I had something like this because I wouldn’t have been so embarrassed about any bad smells during that time of month.

Very reliable Helpful Report TB 5.0 out of 5 stars So worth it Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2022 Style: OvernightVerified Purchase These pads are amazing! I have heavy flow during my cycle and started getting allergic reactions to the pads that I normally wear (have been using them for 8 years). After talking about it, my boyfriend surprised me with new pads just before my cycle and these are amazing! I was surprised when I wore them for the first time. My unmentionables were on fire! There’s a cooling effect to these pads that I forgot he mentioned from reading about it. The mint sensation lasted about 5 minutes and I felt so comfortable afterwards. I will say, you can feel the freshness every time you wear them, but the fresh and cooling feeling afterwards is so worth it. I don’t know if these had a direct effect on the length of cycle, but I do feel like my menstruation period got shorter. I do wish they had some overnight ones – for heavy night flows. I haven’t had an issue but normally a heavy flow and am always conscious. Either way, I love these pads. 10/10 would recommend. 2 people found this helpful Helpful Report JT 3.0 out of 5 stars Hate the mint Reviewed in the United States on June 16, 2023 Style: OvernightVerified Purchase I love the size and length of these.

Helpful Report Joia 5.0 out of 5 stars Favorite Feminine Product Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2023 Style: OvernightVerified Purchase Refreshing! It keeps you clean and dry. Helpful Report Livvv 5.0 out of 5 stars Must have! Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2023 Style: OvernightVerified Purchase This brand is pricier than others, but is a game changer for nights. This 12 pack lasted me a year, since I used 1 every cycle on the night of my heaviest flow. A period already feels gross, but something about sleeping on the heaviest day of the cycle just makes you feel even worse. These minty fresh pads make me feel so much cleaner and less uncomfortable during the night. It’s so worth it! If you’re on the fence about switching pad brands, just try these ones out for night time at least, you won’t be disappointed.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 23, 2022 Style: OvernightVerified Purchase this product is sooo wonderful. this is the only thing that has helped alleviate my cramps and the constant dull ache I get during my period. i’ve not had to take any pankillers and i’ve felt more calm and comfortable than ever. the sensation is unusual at first, but once I got used to that, it was such a relief. I highly recommend to try them at least once. my only complaint is that I wish they were available in the uk outside of amazon. the price here is extremely high, and I know they don’t sell the full range, which is a shame. If I could afford to, I would buy these every single month Report Stacey 5.0 out of 5 stars Greatest Pads for Heavy Flows Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 18, 2022 Style: OvernightVerified Purchase I suffer from severe heavy bleeding and this is the greatest pad I’ve ever tried. Before discovering The Honey Pot Company, I was wearing Tena nappies lined with pads. It was super uncomfortable and bulky. As thin as The Honey Pot Company’s pads are, they really hold a lot and the wings really protect you from any accidents. All my anxieties are gone.

Use your Peri Bottle for your Period

You probably have these laying around pot-birth anyway, why not give your peri-bottle some new life? I fill up with warm water and use this after using the restroom.

It’s a little joy from my birth healing period that I am choosing to carry forward. A dear friend gifted me with a bunch of Frida Mom post-partum care and it all worked wonderfully.

Drink Lots of Fluids

As a breastfeeding mom, I already challenge myself to drink 128 ounces of water daily to help with my overall hydration and breast milk supply. I drink two of these bottles everyday.

If you’re breastfeeding, you can typically expect your milk supply to drop during your time of the month. It should return to normal once your period is over, but it never hurts to stay hydrated to keep your supply as high as possible.

Focus on Self Care

Having your period in general is an unpleasant event. Now, you’ve added taking care of a little human on very little sleep into the mix. Don’t forget to spend energy on yourself. I know it’s difficult to find spare time, but believe it or not, YOU are a priority too.

I’ve actually been working out, talking baths, and working on some cross word puzzles (lame, I know) this week. Consider reading a book, diving into a good show, or digging up an old hobby you haven’t worked on in a long time.

You, your partner, and baby, will be thankful you’re refilling your cup- especially during that time of the month.

You’ve Got This Mama!

Your period is a powerful reminder of what your body can do! Celebrate it and take care of yourself.
