Heavy periods post pregnancy

Em

So I’m on day 3 of my 2nd period since giving birth in September 2019 (I’m breastfeeding). It’s horrible.

I’ve been cramping badly for 6 days straight, yesterday I bled through 3 times and today I soaked through a tampon in just over an hour. Last night I used double protection and still bled through in 8hours.

Is this normal while my body is figuring out a new ‘normal’ period, or should I see a GP?
