Probably normal: Re: EBF (exclusive breast feeding?). Since you had 4 weeks w/o bleeding, it's most likely that this is a menstrual period. But you might not have ovulated prior to your period. That can reduce the intensity of associated symptoms. However,DON'T ASSUME you aren't ovulating, so use birth control if you don't want to get pregnant so soon. Mention this to your OB at your postpartum checkup.
