First period postpartum

How long did your first postpartum period last? I’m going on seven days as of tomorrow. The bleeding is so intense I’m soaking pads every hour 😅 I’m surprised I’m still alive. I didn’t even think I could lose so much blood.

I’m 5 Weeks 5 Days Postpartum and started my period last Monday. I see my OB on Tuesday this coming week so hopefully he clears me for tampons because you best believe I’ll be using those instead of these Depends 🤢

I read that if you bleed for longer than 7 days then you should call your doctor. I really hope it stops tonight or tomorrow, but it honestly doesn’t look like it’s going to. There’s so much blood. I’ve had a few very small clots but that’s about it. Nonstop bleeding 😩
