Period after birth

Mary

It’s been so long since my first baby was born. I just wanted ask what you all’s experience was with the first period. I started spotting maybe a week ago and it slowly got heavier. Now it’s super heavy. Not soaking through a pad and hour but definitely heavy. It’s also bright red sometimes which I assume is normal if everything got cleared out after birth? Anyways. What you you guys like and how long did you bleed for after? TIA
