After my first child I bleed for 6 weeks,stopped for two days then bleed for another week.So yes this is very normal.I wouldnt rescedule your appointment though.But you may want to tell your doctor you are on your period,just so he/she will be prepared.

I don't think it is abnormal for you to have started your period again, especially if you are not breastfeeding your baby. (Even then, it could still be normal. I resumed my period fairly soon after my deliveries although breastfeeding.) My gynecologist has me reschedule my appointments when I am on my period because the blood makes it difficult to see well, so I would call and advise the office before you make the trip so they can tell you what they would like you to do. I think you're also supposed to wait for the doctor's clearance before you start any strenuous exercise.

Its totally normal :) You will be just fine. Dont reschedule, theres no need to. Explain whats going on and if they need to check you, you can let them know that you are bleeding and you and your doc can decide together whether or not to perform the check anyways. Good luck

It most likely is normal. Your body is probably just getting back on schedule after the baby. Call your doctor. They will probably want you to reschedule. After six weeks, excercise shouldn't have an affect on bleeding. Just call and double check with your doctor. And congratulations!

This is quite normal.
You need not reschedule. Just go.
The bleeding is due to the re-commencement of your menstrual cycle.
Happy trails :)
