First period pp

[Djan2011]

I'm not really sure where I should post this. But my sob is seven weeks old today and two days ago I started bleeding heavily. I thought it was my period but I'm not having any of the other usual symptoms. No bloating no cramping no more fatigue than what I have since he was born. But I do sometimes have sharp pains where my uterus is. What were your experiences with first pp period? Is this normal?

did you do anything strenous? I know that sometimes overdoing it can cause you to start bleeding again...

I quit my PP heavy bleeding about a week or two after birth but spotted for a few weeks...and I did not get my normal cycle until like 16 weeks or so

Oh wow thats a long time! Yea I bled really bad for the first month. But haven't had any blood really for about two weeks until two days ago.

Mine was different from what it's normally been and it's been over a year since I've had it. I finally got it like 16 weeks postpartum. I think it's different for everyone and I think it takes a while for your body to get back on track.
Was there a big break between your bleeding after having your son and this bleeding? Because after having my son I bled for 8 or 9 weeks and I went for a really long walk and started bleeding heavily after only spotting for a week or two so I knew I kinda out did myself!
