First periods after c section

Hi mums, I’m 7 weeks postpartum and had some brown spotting a few days ago followed by a few drops of blood the next day. I thought i had started my periods but since then there is nothing. Only when I wipe down there I see a little bit of brown discharge on the tissue. Is this how first periods are?

Hey, I'm 7 weeks postpartum next week, also c section and started my period yesterday morning. Mines deep red and quite heavy. Before this, I had nothing, no signs of my period coming besides very light cramping x

I bled for 6 weeks postpartum, stopped for a few days, had some brown spotting, that stopped for about 5 days and then the heaviest period of my life started.

My first period was also ridiculously heavy, lasted for a week, got a week’s break then had a normal one for another week 🤦‍♀️ I am not breastfeeding at all though so know that makes it different
