Dr. Rania Mousa General Medicine
Possibly this is not a period ,this is a part of your postpartum bleeding after delivery(called -lochia) ,some women experience a stopping of lochia but for some reason it may come again ,and is delayed till even 12 weeks after delivery .
sometimes the uterus doesn't contract as it should after birth, leading to postpartum hemorrhage ,excessive or uncontrolled bleeding from the site where the placenta was attached. It can be caused by unrepaired vaginal or cervical laceration,excessive working or lifting heavy things ,unresting well after postpartum ,infection ,placenta residue remaining ,...

late postpartum hemorrhage (also known as a delayed or secondary postpartum hemorrhage). This term is used to describe severe bleeding that occurs between 24 hours and 12 weeks after childbirth, though late postpartum hemorrhages typically occur one to two weeks postpartum. (Profuse bleeding that occurs within the first 24 hours is classified as a primary postpartum hemorrhage.)

Call your doctor right away if you notice any of these signs:
-Bleeding that soaks more than one sanitary pad in an hour
-Bright red bleeding that occurs four days or more after delivery
-Blood clots bigger than a golf ball

Late postpartum hemorrhage may be caused by a uterus that doesn't contract normally, possibly as a result of fragments of the placenta or the amniotic sac that remain in the uterus after birth, an infection, or both.

A late postpartum hemorrhage may also be caused by an inherited disorder that alters your blood's ability to clot, Sometimes, though, the cause is unknown.
cases put you at greater risk for hemorrhage, including uterine inversion, uterine rupture, hydramnios, placenta previa, or placental abruption. Women taking drugs or herbs that interfere with blood clotting (such as aspirin, ibuprofen, ginkgo biloba, or large doses of vitamin E) are also at greater risk for postpartum hemorrhage.

While most women recover well from postpartum hemorrhage, the loss of large amounts of blood can make you feel faint, breathless, dizzy, or cause your heart to speed up.

-Rest as much as you can and avoid excessive walking or standing as this increases blood flow.

- Don't lift heavy things or work intensely

-Use heavy maxi pads to soak up the blood.

-Avoid tampons for at least 6 weeks postpartum because they can introduce bacteria and infections into the uterus.

- Avoid penetrative sexual intercourse until blood flow has at least turned pink and any pain has subsided. See our article postpartum sex for more details.

-if severe and heavy and having more than one sebnatiry pad a day it may be life threatening you need to be hospitalized until it stops. Your doctorr will examine you and start an IV to give you fluid, medication to help your uterus contract, and possibly antibiotics. An ultrasound will be done to see if any placental tissue remains in your uterus.

-If there's tissue, your caregiver may need to do a surgical procedure called a dilation and curettage (D&C) to remove it

-Rest, fluids, a nutritious diet, and prenatal vitamins with folic acid as well as additional iron supplements are essential. In most cases, that's all you'll need to deal with the anemia caused by excessive blood loss

however remember that if the bleeding is too heavy you must go directly to the doctor

>Remember that all women must been checked after 6 weeks of delivery by their gynecologist as a part of follow uo and an ultrasound is necessary ,you are one of all women and with a condition then you must go and check ,don't put yourself on risk you start having dizziness and tiredness ,so you may have severe anemia ,you must compensate blood blood test is necessary as welll as ultrasound.
