I know this might sound stupid but this is my first baby so I’m just really unsure about a lot of things haha!
I had my son 5 weeks ago, he’s 6 weeks on Sunday. I bled for 4 and a half, nearly 5 weeks, stopped for a few days and now today I’ve woke up with bright red blood and cramps. Is this my first period? Can it happen this soon after the postpartum bleeding stops?
Thank you in advance girls x

Did for me at 6 weeks, lasted 5 days like a normal period for me. But it was super heavy and horrid. So prepare for that 🙃
Oh no! Having a baby is not for the weak!! Did you go straight from the postpartum bleeding to stopping for a few days, to then have the period ?x

This happened to me! My pp stopped for a couple days at about 6 weeks and then my period came a few days later! X
