A member asked:
I had a negative pregnancy test and i am breastfeeding, but i am 1week4days late after 42 days,i have heavy bleeding bright red blood. is this normal?

Not unusual: If your period was late, there may have been additional build up of uterine lining in that time, leading to particularly heavy period this time. You are not pregnant, so not to worry. Make sure you are getting adequate iron in your diet to have enough for your blood loss and feeding your baby. May need a temporary iron supplement.
