This I am about to start first period since having DD3 (nearly 8 weeks ago), however, at the moment it is just like a heavy brown discharge ...is this how it usually starts ?
Don't recall it starting like this after DD's 1&2

When did your lochia stop? I had brown discharge at the end of that. Then a few weeks before my first period. It was like a normal period but very heavy.

Lochia stopped about 4-5 weeks ago !
I think it probably is the start of my period, just don't know when I should take my first pill in case it isn't
