First period after birth, when?


I bled for 2 and a half weeks after the birth of Joshua, I stopped bleeding completely for a couple of days and now it has started again and it's more like a light red (Towards the end of my previous bleeding it was pinkish/brownish like when you're about to stop bleeding when you have your periods)

Could it be my first period starting? Or is it just the bleeding that started again?
I don't have any period pains though...

I wanna start the pill asap, is it best to wait for the first period or it doesn't matter ?

My bleeding has been off and on, and my dr says its normal. Im going for my 6 week appt Friday and Im supposed to get some form of birth control, and I haven't had a period. Your dr will let you kno whatever is best for you tho.
