Post pregnancy question -

I bled for three weeks after giving birth, I want to say around the 1st or 2nd of September I had finally stopped!

Today I started bleeding today nothing heavy.

Is it normal to expect a period this soon?

You may even get 2 periods this month until you get your normal cycle back so dont be alarmed.

Yeah, after postpartum bleeding stops, I usually begin my normal period 2-4 weeks after.

So weird because everywhere I'm reading says it normally takes 5-8 weeks to come back

Yup a period can return at any time regardless of if you're breastfeeding or not.
