Bleeding postpartum

Hi, I’m 6 weeks pp today and EBF and whilst my bleeding was almost gone and just watery it came back heavier and bright red, not enough to soak a pad in an hour and not consistent - also some pelvis soreness- anything to be worried? Called GP and they only said to go to A&E if I soak a pad within the hour.

Period possibly?

If it's not too heavy sounds like it might be your period. I was quite surprised when I got my period 3 months pp. Loads of people don't realize you can get your regular periods back while breastfeeding. However, of you think it's too heavy for a period I would insist on getting checked. Have you already had your 6 weeks pp check..maybe you can use that?

Yes it could be your period. Mine came back very early despite EBF :)

This happened to me and was my period, that was despite bf.
