First menstrual period postpartum (long)

How long was your first period when it came back postpartum. I 6 weeks postpartum my postpartum bleeding was pretty normal going from red and clots the first 2 weeks to pink then brown and then yellow. After it ended I got my first postpartum period came the first two days were pretty light (but still a flow) since then it goes back and forth everyday from healthy to medium but not ending I'm on day 7 it doesn't seem to be ending my period before pregnancy where about 5 days. What were other mamas first period postpartum experience

Hi Justine! 😊 I got my first period exactly 6weeks postpartum, it was pretty heavy and only lasted about 6 days! They usually say your first periods can be a bit irregular. So finger crossed yours will go back to the usual 5days

@Ashley thanks 🙏

I got my first period 5 weeks pp and lasted about a week and a half

@Lauren how long was it heavy

Pretty much the whole time. Only the last day or 2 it slowed down

@Lauren were you breastfeeding I noticed it's heavier when I am breastfeeding (when baby is latched)

@Justine no I've been formula feeding

I'm on day 9 this sucks

@Lauren sorry I'm asking so many questions seeing my Dr. On Monday but did you have a lot of clots I've have had a bit nothing too large through

Ask away I don't mind. I did have quite a few for the first week but nothing too big. I spoke to my doctor as I went when I thought my c section wound was infected and he told me it was normal so hopefully what you're experiencing is too 🙃

Some people told me there first period postpartum was like 2 weeks crazy
