Bleeding at 4.5 weeks post partum

Hi mummies, I stopped bleeding around 3.5-4 weeks pp but now it’s back again at 4.5 weeks. It’s bright red very similar to menses type of bleeding. I am exclusively pumping BM for my LO since day 1. Is it possible I’m experiencing my first period pp? It’s too soon!?

Hey Mama, it’s quite possible you’re having your first period. Best to consult your gynae regarding your concerns.

Thanks Lena. My appointment with the gynae is not for another 3 weeks so I’ll drop her a line in the interim.
