It's not a period technically. It's the uterus shedding it's lining that was protecting the baby for 9 months. It's different for all woman. Usually it starts off heavy for a couple days after birth and then turns to a light pink color and sometimes to a brown color and usually is just spotting after a week or two. Bleeding can increase if you are lifting and doing to much after you give birth. All woman are different so if you notice anything unusual then you should contact your doctor.
