Breastfeeding but having period?

2 months postpartum and suddenly having heavy bleeding (bright red, quite heavy flow). It’s the third day today. Is that my period? I thought it won’t return so soon if one is exclusively breastfeeding, which I am currently. Bleeding had initially stopped after 44 days of giving birth (natural delivery). Should I be worried?

Hi, Mostly period gets delayed if you are breastfeeding but it is completely normal if your period returns during breastfeeding. Just make sure that you eat properly and have lots of fluids
