Im 5 weeks postpartum and i have been bleeding heavy. i soaked through a pad overnight i just want to know if that is normal?

"Five weeks post partum" bleeding may be secondary to retained placental tissue, or even the start of a menstrual period if you are not on birth control pills. See your OBGYN physician for guidance as more information is needed to answer completely.
