A member asked:
I had a baby five weeks ago my bleeding had stopped but all of a sudden started again n it is bright red and very heavy. is this okay or normal?

Check with doctor: Heavy bleeding that is out of character should be evaluated by your doctor. It can be possible that you are having your period once again after delivering your child 5 weeks ago.
