Period?

Question

Has anyone had their first period already? And if so how can you tell? 
My afterbirth bleeding was so light I've been able to use regular thin period pads since day 3. I even stopped spotting around week 4 for about a week. Then started to spot again around week five but no need for a pad or liner. Now I'm 6 1/2 weeks post partum and bleeding enough to need a pad and noticeability crampy. And suggestions?

Answer

I started my period at 5 weeks pp. my pp blood had gone away and then I started bleeding again. The blood turned into bright red with clots like a period. I also had some cramping and was emotional. Then it was gone after 4 days or so

Answer

I am 6 weeks pp and just started bleeding bright red. I stopped bleeding last week   I am breastfeeding, so I don't think it is my period right?  It is pretty heavy, I am on day 2 now of bleeding. Wondering what is going on!

Answer

Sounds like your period to me :) I almost completely stopped bleeding at 4 weeks and then the next day started bleeding heavily and got horrible cramps like I do for my period. Now a week later the bleeding has stopped. No doubt that was my period!

Answer

Were you crampy before? I haven't had any cramping so far so I would assume it was my period if bleeding got heavier and was accompanied by cramps.
