I'm nearly 6 weeks postpartum my lochia stopped 2 weeks ago today I've had red period type bleeding midwife said over the phone that's what it is even tho I'm breastfeeding but son takes formula at night

How long did your first period last was it just like your normal period
Did breastfeeding help end it quicker

Just looking help as was scared this wasnt a period and there was something wrong

If you aren’t exclusively breastfeeding it is really most likely to be your period - in fact, even if you were exclusively breastfeeding it would probably be your period!

You've made a lot of posts about this now. It'll be your period but if your worried you need to phone the dr. My first period was heavy and probably lasted longer but then they just settled back in again as normal x
