period after breastfeeding

Jaclyn
For the past 9 months I have been breastfeeding and just weaned this week. The whole 9 months I didn't have a period and now it's returned. It's SO heavy that I have to change my tampon every 1-1.5 hours. My periods use to be so light if only have to change it every like 4-6 hours! 
Is this normal? Tell me about your experience please!
