Heavy bleeding.
I’m coming up to almost 7 weeks pp. from C section.
My initial bleeding after birth stoped a few weeks back (around week 4-5) and yesterday I started getting what I thought was my fist period back. (we are bottle feeding only)
Today it has seemed to get really heavy. Like I have to change a super tampon every 1.5-2hrs. Heavy bright red in colour, not any clotting I could see. Is this a normal amount for first period or should I be concerned?

I have mine at the moment which I’m sure it is I’m nearly 8 weeks pp , and it’s really really heavy filling a pad every 1-2 hours think it’s just normal after birth for it to be really heavy

I was the same, I told my ob she wasn’t concerned, I think as long as their are no major blood clots you should be fine, my period used to only last 5 days this time it was 8, my ob said it may tak the body to go back to normal a few months.
