Xp: period?

It feels like I'm getting my period. Ugh. I am 6 weeks pp, and exclusively breastfeeding. DS nurses every 2 to 3 hours, often every 1.5 hours, even in the middle of the night. But i feel crampy, and I'm getting spotting like I typically do at the start of a period. I am surprised (and pissed). With DS I didn't get a period until 16 months pp. I did exercise today - I did the 1st video of the 30 day shred. Could this still be pp bleeding? I really didn't expect a period this soon. Edited: I actually meant to post this in October originally but accidentally posted it in November (hence the cross post).

    Not sure on what to say about it being possible pp bleeding, but I did want to tell you that with both DS1 and DS2 (EBF) I had AF. So not everyone has the luck of no AF during BF. Hopefully it's just from your work out today.

    I am also 6 weeks PP and EBF. I started to feel crampy and have some light bleeding about 4 days ago. I wasn't sure if this was more PP bleeding from delivery (which had pretty much stopped 2 or 3 weeks ago) or my period (it's lighter than my period typically is). I went to my 6 week OB appointment yesterday and doc said it appeared to be my period trying to start up :-( I was really looking forward to not having my period at all while breastfeeding, so I am definitely a bit bummed. Hopefully it won't last long for either of us OP.

    @ashleyvictoria‌ how long did your bleeding last? Mine has stopped so I'm more confused.

    @mb314‌ it's still going on. It's been about 4 days and it's been pretty light the whole time, but hasn't completely stopped yet.

    So jealous of everyone and their light period. Started mine on Sunday and feel like I'm bleeding more than after delivery!! I think it's finally wrapping up tho-I didn't need to change my pad every hour yesterday. :-S
