Ok question it might be tmi. I am goin on 6 weeks postpartum started bleeding again on Thursday. 6 days ago is this normal. My 6 week postpartum check up is tomorrow. I only bled for a week after delivery. Now all of sudden I start bleeding heavy. I called my doctor Monday and she said it might be my period but 6 days sheesh. Anybody else went through this.

Your period can last 4-6 weeks after giving birth because there is a lot more lining to get rid of.

Anyone else 12 weeks postpartum and have had light period flow for the 1st half of your cycle then boom it's heavy and painful? I'm on the 6th day and all of a sudden it's really heavy with clots and it literally feels like I'm peeing but it's just my period...the 2nd -5th I didn't even have to wear a pad or liner then yesterday it was medium flow now it's just super heavy and painful all I want to do is sleep and be left alone I'm hurting in my back so bad 😞. tomorrow I'm supposed to be stopping my period but I guess it's gonna last longer than 7 days this time...I didn't miss this shit at all y'all

I have only had one, and it was rough. I had a tampon and a pad and was so uncomfortable. Definitely did NOT miss it. Had me missing pregnancy more than I already did.

29 weeks , first time mom, and heavy pressure down in my vagina... is this normal? It's all of a sudden, it feels like there's a bowling ball trying to come between my legs

Baby is breeched. His head is hitting your cervix and bladder, plus you say he’s measuring much bigger so it’ll be time in the next few weeks for sure!. ❤️❤️❤️

My placenta is anterior so my son is considered to be breeched, which is head down I suppose for the position of my placenta. That’s according to the doctor..

When she said it I was thinking like 🤔 I’ve always known it to mean feet down lol, but just figured since my placenta was anterior that’s what she meant 😂😂 I be trying not to think everybody is dumb and give them the benefit of the doubt 😂🤦🏾‍♀️

So I started my period two days late an when it finally came I bleed very light with no cramps. An usually my period is very heavy with cramps. So what does that means?

Or (not to get hopes up) could be implantation bleeding. If you stop bleeding I would take a test

So my period is usually 5 days and medium to heavy flow. This month it was 4 days late, lasted only 3 days, and only spotting to light flow. Any ideas why?

yes very normal you didn’t have a period for almost a year so your body is getting back to normal. also if you went on a birth control recently that could be why you’re bleeding much more heavy. I see you’re 6 weeks PP just watch for blood clots over the size of golf ball.
