Calling all you C-Section ladies!

I had an emergency c-section 6 weeks ago, and stopped bleeding at around 4 weeks. I just wondered when you had your first AF after your c-section and how heavy and painful it was?
I'm really not looking forward to my AF returning, and have read that the first one, especially after a section can be really heavy. Just looking for first hand experiences really!!

Thanks!! xx

I've just had my first AF after my c-section and my LO is approaching 8 months. It was a bit heavier than normal and I had a few tummy cramps but it was nothing at all like I imagined it would be. Far easier and more normal, was over in 4 days. HTH xx
