First period after birth

Nicole

I am 6 weeks post partum and I just got my period for the first time 4 days ago and it is SO heavy!! Is this normal? I was going through thick pads every 2 hours with clotting too. I go for my OBGYN appointment on Monday but the bleeding is just as bad as the few days after I had my daughter!
