is this normal?

I only bled for 2 weeks after my c section and it completely stopped, no spotting or anything. However now I'm 4 and a half weeks pp and I started spotting this morning. I'm not in any pain or anything so I thought it was weird. Then I thought it could be my period but I'm breastfeeding and I'm not crampy or anything. Thoughts?

It's probably not your period since you are bfing and you are only 4 weeks pp. I had bleeding off and on for the first 6 weeks. If I did too much one day I would start bleeding again and then it would stop the next day. I think it is pretty normal.

That's exactly what has happened to me and we're about the same amount pp.  All my major bleeding was done by the time I left the hospital, then I spotted off and on for a couple weeks, then nothing and starting last night I was bleeding again.  I'm also breast feeding and was confused as to whether it's my period or not but I'm guessing not since it's lighter than a normal period, but it's still too heavy to just be spotting.

It would be totally normal to have more PP bleeding or your period at this point, even if you are BFing.

Sounds normal to me, my OB told me I would bleed off and on for about 6 weeks.

It could be your period. BF usually delays your period, but it's not 100%. My first period this time wasn't painful at all. I thought, with the lack of pain, that it might have just been break through bleeding, but then she came back again the next month.
