Is this normal after having a baby?

Question

This is my second period after having a baby. My first one was very light but lasted for two weeks. Now about two weeks later, I'm bleeding very heavy, for me at least. I've gone thru three pads in a little over 15 hours. So is this normal, or should I call my doc again?

Answer 3

Your periods can be wacky for a few months. No worries. If they dont straighten up within a few months, or are accompanied with unusual pain then call the doc back.  

Answer 5

your hormones are everywhere after giving birth, it is normal.
