First postpartum period

I'm 7 weeks postpartum and since six weeks I started my period, I think it sure looks and feel like it. My doctor said it looked like a period at my check up. Well I'm having pretty bad cramps and a bunch of blood. I'm not filling a pad in a hour but every time I pee the toilet is just red as hell. And I stand up and feel gushes. I just started the mini pill at 6weeks. Is this normal for my first period after birth

Yes, sounds about right.

Sounds normal. My first period was very heavy and lasted about 3 weeks.

Sounds normal. My first pp period was like that. It was like a scene from the shining every time I went to the bathroom.

I thought I was dying for all my first pp peroids.

Glad to know ladies.. It's been so long since I had a period lol is fatigue during this time common and what the hell I'm ebf didn't think I was supposed to start this quick

Did you actually stop bleeding and then start again?

Because my midwife said I was probably having my first PP period at 6 weeks (even though I'm EBF) and on ultrasound it turned out to be a fragment of placenta left in my uterus. It could be your period but when I saw an OB they wanted to know if there was a discernible stop in my bleeding or not and there wasn't, I've just been continually bleeding for 8 weeks now.

Nope I never quit bleeding, I spotted like almost nothing but it never wasn't there

Quoting !*MySonIsMyWorld*!:" Nope I never quit bleeding, I spotted like almost nothing but it never wasn't there"

That's exactly what happened to me. It tapered off to just spotting, but never stopped, and then picked up again.

The midwife had a difficult time delivering my placenta and I know it broke apart when she pulled it out...she still didn't think it was likely that there was anything in there and she almost didn't order the U/S. The only reason she did was that I was planning on getting Mirena put in.

Can you tell if all of my placenta is out by a picture, I took one

I can't, no, but the midwife/doctor who delivered your baby should be able to. I don't know why they didn't do an ultrasound on me right away, considering she had such a difficult time with my placenta and I hemorrhaged pretty badly. If yours came out all in one piece and intact you should have nothing to worry about, I was just throwing that out there so you were aware.
