A member asked:
I am 8weeks postpartum and hemorrhage. i started bleeding at 6 weeks, and now it's heavy. how long does this last for? what's normal for first period?

Many options: The first period is often a little off but it should not be a “hemorrhage.” If you are bleeding that heavy then prompt evaluation is needed. There are many options for heavy periods. Many birth control methods can be used to lighten or even stop the cycle.
