First Postpartum Period?

Currently 6 weeks postpartum, recently got my period and it is HEAVY. I am bleeding 3x worse than I did when I gave birth to her. I am bleeding through very thick, long pads.. all over my clothing. Every time I stand up there is a huge gush of blood. Is this normal? This is my first baby. I’m filling up a pad within an hour.
