In addition to what has already been said, I'd like to make sure that if your period continues much longer than usual, make sure you call your OBGyn. They may want to do an ultrasound on your uterus to make sure you don't have any clots in there. If it makes you feel any better, I had twins 14 weeks ago and I'm still bleeding! (No clot though!)

I'm assuming that you mean your first true period and not just lochia. I'm not really sure why its so bad, but I can assure you that you're not alone. Here's a link to when I asked the same question (and within it there's a link for another woman who'd also asked basically the same quesiton), so you can check them out for lots more answers. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Al4VgTj3oPCVhhPWeQuK1wPty6IX?qid=20070125122943AALBa5C

your period has been built up for 9 months giving your baby a protective little home. CONGRATULATIONS!
