Pregnant/nursing 18 months and have first period. it is very heavy with blood running down my legs every hours. normal?

Could be...: After not having your period for a prolonged period of time, in this case due to breastfeeding, you can have a profuse bleeding. However, if the bleeding is that bad, and for example, changing pads every hour or less, you need to be seen immediately. Call you gynecologist ASAP for immediate evaluation. If you feel dizzy, weak with palpitations, shortness of breath go now to the emergency room.
