PP bleeding vs period?

Question

I'm current 3.5 weeks pp (vaginal delivery) and my bleeding has picked up again over the last few days (I was just spotting pink and brown but now I'm back to red and it's a little heavier than just spotting.) Is this typical of pp bleeding or could this be my period? I'm exclusively breastfeeding so I wasn't expecting a period this soon but it seems weird that I'm bleeding again.

Answer

This same thing is happening to me as well at almost 4 weeks but doesn't seem enough to be a period

Answer

That happened to me. Wasn't my period. Just got it today almost 7 weeks PP.

Answer

That happened to me. I'm three weeks and 4 days PP and my bleeding has been light and brown and then will get heavier and turn red again. My OB said it's normal to change back and forth and should last around 6 weeks.
