Feeling dumb... didn’t realize how much you bleed after birth.

Just read that you bleed for 4-6 weeks after giving birth. For some reason, this gives me so much more anxiety than birth itself. I don’t know why it frightens me so much.

I guess I’m worried something will be wrong and I’ll be bleeding too much and won’t realize because I’ll be consumed with baby.

Does the bleeding feel like a period?
