I’m 6 weeks postpartum from my C. I started having some bleeding on Thursday and it’s gotten heavier since then. Also having blood clots. Dr said it’s just my period coming early. I’m exclusively breastfeeding. Anyone else experience this?

I experienced this with my son. I started taking the mini pill around 6 weeks and got my period right away. I was disappointed because I was hoping to go a little longer lol

This happened to me 6 weeks after c-section (also exclusively breastfeeding). I was concerned, but the doctor said it was my period. The bleeding resolved, and didn’t return. I got my first actual period 7 months pp, still exclusively breastfeeding. I think now that my earlier bleeding was from stress/doing too much, and I wish the doctor had mentioned this. I don’t know if this is the case for you, but don’t be afraid to advocate for yourself if you don’t feel like it’s normal bleeding. I know it’s possible to have your period return this early while EBF, but it’s less common. I hope you get some answers 💜
