First period PP

Kirstyn
I got my first period after having my daughter a few days ago. It started off slow and normal but since yesterday I bleed through and now I completely soaked through like.. A lot, it was basically dripping down my leg and it's still bad. I've had the normal period cramps since yesterday. Is it normal to have a much heavier period your first period after having a baby? I have my 6 week PP exam tomorrow so obviously I'll ask then but I just wanted to get an idea now.
