AF already

I can't believe AF has arrived already and Eleanor isn't even 3 weeks old yet.
Is it normal to come so soon ?

I was going to suggest the same Sarah. I got AF back with both my kids at 5 weeks. I though that was early enough.

When I had Ds my bleeding stopped after maybe a week and a half and then started again when bub was about 5wks old, apparently it can come back when bub has a growth spurt or if you over do it a bit

Lochia is the bleeding after you give birth/have had your c/s. I got mine back when Anneliese was 4.5w old after my c/s, and thought that was early!! My lochia did start and stop for about 2-3 weeks before it completely disappeared.
