Postpartum period

Hello, honestly just looking for some advice and wisdom.
I am currently 6 weeks pp and have recently started my first period!
The cramps are fine and my periods before pregnancy were just normal and never anything extreme.

But I know I am meant to bleed heavy. But this feels like I’m going to bleed out at this point 😂
I had a c section so not sure if it makes any difference either!!
But earlier today I seemed to loose some skin tissue and have had multiple clots as well. Which is something I am not tooo worried about. But it is more the fact I am changing my pads every hour.

I tried to have a bath to help with the cramps but had to get out due to the water actually changing colour!

And then tonight, I have started dripping down my leg and completely soaking a tampon and pad only 40 minutes of having it in.

I just don’t know if too much bleeding is a thing after pregnancy as I bled no where near this much after my birth.

If anyone has any advice I would appreciate it so much. I just feel like I don’t know how I can go out or anything when I’m just scared I’ll end up looking like Carrie from the waist down 🤣
