Need Mumsnetters advice...

Just had baby (number 5)

He is just 10 weeks old and I bled for around 5.5 weeks after delivery.

Today I have started a period 4.5 weeks after giving birth ! This is not normal for me I normally start again between 8 and 10 months after delivery.

Baby is fully breastfed.

Should i go to doctors?
Thanks
