Those first few postpartum periods are Teh Suck. :(
That said, mine have gotten worse after each kid, whether from just getting older or exponentially more sleep deprived or what, and now I'm 33 and have at least twice if not three times the flow I had in my 20s (went from a regular tampon all day to a super plus a pad that lasts 2 hours), and more other symptoms too -- cramps, moodiness, much more frequent and disabling migraines, food cravings -- it is seriously not fun. I'm getting an ultrasound next week to rule out anything other than "isn't aging fun".

How many more years to menopause? sigh.
