afterbirth irregular/spotting period... HELP

Hello All,

Desperately need advice or want to know if any other new mums are having the same experience.

I had my normal post delivery bleeding for about 40 days and 4 weeks later my first period so all seemed ok in that department. Although my periods normally last full 7 days but post delivery it only lasted for 5 days. Anyhow since then 6 weeks have passed and for the past 3 days I have been spotting blood with period like cramps in back/stomach but it does not seem to be developing into a normal period blood [confused.

Is this normal? Does it mean my period is on it's way?

By the way there is no chance of me being pregnant at all.

Any comment/advice will be great.

Any changes to menstrual cycles from your usual normal should be reported to the GP.
Spotting between periods should always be investigated as a matter of course.
