Please help- Bleeding Postpartum

I am going on my 12th week postpartum.

I decided to have an orgasm tonight to see if it would hurt (I’ve heard sometimes orgasms hurt for a while postpartum). I had no pain. I had mild cramping a few minutes after. I am also on what I think is my first postpartum period. I am day 4. Day one was light but continued to get heavy, day two was heavy, yesterday was heavy but then slowed down quite a bit. Today it pretty much stopped. I only had brown spotting.

A few minutes after I orgasmed, bright/dark blood started running down my legs. It started coming out kind of quickly. Now it is coming out when I pee in little drops.

Should I be worried? I have never had a kid before so i don’t know what normal is.

I went to the doctor the first day of my suspected period and he b elieved it was my period.

Thank you. I feel like an idiot. I don’t know anything about postpartum. Never had this happen before.

The uterus contracts when you orgasm. That cause the period blood to come out. Its normal.

Can periods start and stop like that? I called my OB’s on call line and haven’t gotten a phone call yet. It was running down my legs pretty fast but luckily stopped. Why could that have happened when I orgasmed ??
