First PP period lasted half a day! Any ideas?

6 weeks PP, section if that makes a difference.
Lochia stopped 2 weeks ago, PMS symptoms for the last few days so I knew it was on the way. Yesterday around 9am fresh, red bleeding began accompanied by my usual period aches. Mild to medium flow, no clots, no smell, not too heavy etc, just a normal period that's typical for me.

However it completely tailed off by about 4pm! I'm now just having trace amounts of pinky discharge... could that still be classed as my period continuing extremely lightly? Where has my first period gone?!

Give it a chance, it’s just getting into its stride!

@Ohyesiam true, it's just this is my 4th baby and my other first PP periods were like a scene from Carrie! Grin
