hi,
My LO is 11 weeks on sunday, and i bled for 6 weeks after the birth and then had my period. (which is all normal) I then stopped bleeding for a week or 2 after this, but i started bleeding 3 weeks ago? is this normal, or should i call my HV or doc for advice?

Id ask your doctor but Ive heard your periods can be pretty irregular after childbirth and takes a while for them to settle down properly.

yeah thats what i heard - i started the pill when i had my last period, so assumed i would be back to almost normal
