3 week heavy period (1st period after birth of DD)- normal?

[JJRJ1002]

Hi all

My DD is nearly 7 weeks old, I've had my first period since her birth and it's going into the 3rd week and still very heavy and occasionally has very small clots. I can't remember this happening after my DS. Does anyone know if this is normal?

I would seek medical advice re this bleeding asap because you could become anaemic. Any such changes should be reported to the doctor.
