It will be 6 weeks in just a few days since I gave birth to my baby girl. I stopped bleeding about 2 weeks ago and today I started bleeding again. It's not very heavy, but I thought it was really weird. I'm breastfeeding exclusively. I thought bc I was breastfeeding that it would be months before I got my period. Now that I think about it, I have felt slightly crampy, but I thought that was just my body getting back to normal. Anyone else start their period this early while breastfeeding?
(And I have called my dr... just waiting to hear back from them!)

Well, did you get on any sort of contraception? I got my IUD put back in at about 3 weeks postpartum and I will spot and cramp very inconsistently for awhile yet. I thought I was getting my period, but my doc said that it was normal and that I most likely wasn't get it already. I technically haven't had a period for over 6 years... so I have NO idea what I am even looking for.... but I would go based off the color... If it is dark or brown, then it is old blood just finally making its way down and out... if it is bright red new blood, then you are most likely still healing. And have you had sex yet? That can trigger some bleeding as well. Especially if you don't wait the full 6+ weeks before doing the deed... I don't know why anyone would wait that long, I couldn't wait! I think I made it just over a week! But that did cause a little more bleeding than usual. If you are worried, just wait for the doc to return your call! Congrats on the new baby!

It's very normal for you to bleed that early. I bled off and on the whole time I breast fed. I would bleed one day maybe not the next day but I bled just about every day to every other day until I stopped breast feeding.
