First period or have I over done it?!

[chinchillin]

Hi all,

I had my baby 4 weeks ago and the other night I felt really well and back to normal so I did a gym class (I know they say to wait 6 weeks but I really was feeling my old self, I had a straight forward birth).

Light bleeding started the morning after however today it’s been bright red and HEAVY. Having to change pads every 2 hours and I’ve had little clots. I’m wondering if it was the gym class and my body has told me to calm down or if it’s my period…. But 4 weeks seems so early!

I noticed yesterday my stomach was bloated (no pain) which was a big period symptom for me before. The one thing which makes me think it can’t be my period is because I haven’t had strong cramps like I would before.

Has anyone else bleed massively after over doing it?

No temp, no dizziness etc xx

My bleeding came and went a bit post partum and definitely got worse if I was more active it so could deffo be the gym class.

Not sure it's a sign of anything being wrong though so I wouldn't necessarily stop the class? (Obviously I'm not a medical professional!)

I've had my period around 6 weeks though both times after having my kids, 4 weeks does sound early but that's a lot of bleeding to start again once the post partim bleeding had stopped.
