Period after birth

I'm pretty sure I'm having my period at 5 weeks after having a c section. I forgot how awful periods are. I have awful cramps and I'm so sleepy. Plus, since I haven't been cleared by my doctor, I can't use tampons yet. Pads make me feel so gross. I'm praying it goes away by my 6 week appointment next week because I REALLY want to have sex with my husband. Sorry. Just venting. Now I'm going to find some chocolate.
