Postpartum Bleeding: Understanding Your Period After Childbirth

Question
I GAVE BIRTH TO MY DAUGHTER 8/15/07.I BLEED FOR 3 WEEKS AND NOW SHE'S 6 WEEKS AND I'M HAVING MY PERIOD.IS THIS NORMAL TO BLEED SO SOON?


Answer
I apologize for the tardiness of my answer, but I did not know I had questions waiting for me here.

If you are not breastfeeding your daughter, you may get your period that early. However, if you experience heavy bleeding (soaking more than 1 pad per hour), severe pain, fever, or the discharge has an unpleasant odor, you should see your doctor immediately.

Please let me know if I can help you further or with anything else.

Best wishes,
Helen =)
