Had DD2 nearly 5 weeks ago. Straightforward natural birth, quick recovery, no health concerns. She's ebf, going well. Was just in supermarket and felt a sudden warm gush down below Assumed it was an embarrassing pelvic floor failure despite all the exercises, and headed home to deal with it.
Got home, went to toilet to find my underwear and jeans (black, thank god) soaked in blood, and a massive clot passed too Still bleeding I think but not sure to what extent. The thing is, I nearly passed out on the way home. Cramps have recently started too, so could it be my period, back really early? Or should I worry?
Would a sudden heavy period do that? Mine have only ever been light before so i really don't know. I know logically it's probably not a haemorrhage but it doesn't stop the fear!

1 month post-partum, sudden big bleed - is this normal? Bit scared.
