Did this happen to anyone else?

I had my little man 7 weeks ago.  At 4 weeks PP I stopped bleeding.  Well at 5 weeks I started again and I though I was just getting my period back but it has continued off and on since.  One day it will be heavy and then one day it is just spotting all day.  I tried looking online to see what could cause this and it all points to cancer.  I have my PP check up on Tuesday and I am going to request that they go ahead and do a pap.  They told me they normally don't do them at the 6 week check ups.  I am really nervous though.  Has anyone had this happen.  It has been going on for two weeks now.

i wouldnt worry. usually after you give birth your periods are never normal. after my 1st,my periods were off and on heavy then they became kind of steady. after my 3rd, my periods werent steady and they seem to be pretty much steady now-i can start guessing when they will be here now. dont worry.

The same thing happened to me. It happened to me for almost 4 months. And on top of my periods became abnormal when they used to be like clock work. And every once in awhile I will still spot for no reason. The doctor gave me two ultrasounds and bloodwork to see if there is a problem and apparently it is normal. Try not to worry about it. I know it is extremely annoying though.

I wouldnt worry same thing happened. At 5 weeks PP i had my period and then at like 7 weeks PP I had another. Its just the messed up hormones, I had my pap and it came back fine.

dont freak out yet. for one they say anything can point to cancer now days for example i had tender breast and i knew i wasnt was preggos cuz i was bc and i looked it up online and it said it cud be cancer. so hold your head up it happened to me to. its normal. it takes a long time for your body to get back to normal
