What causes spotting between periods?

Hey mamas, I had a C-section almost 5 months ago. The 28th will be 5 months. I was supposed to have my period sometime in the next few days. Well I started 2 weeks ealry which isn’t normal I’m usually 2+ weeks late. So that already threw me off. Well today I stared spotting, and I just had my period 2 weeks ago. Is this normal? I’m not supposed to start for another week.

Your body just had major surgery after creating a baby. Expect abnormal for 6-12 mons. It’s resetting. Spotting is normal if there are no other symptoms. If you experience severe cramping or pain with it, see a Dr immediately.
With my first, based on my usual dates and birth, it took about 4-5 months for it to reset. Of course on a new date. Lol
Same after my 2nd. I ended up with a different date.
Provided you have no other issues, it’s normal.
As always, it is your body. You know it better than anyone. If you have concerns, call your Dr. :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Are you breast feeding at all as that can totally throw it off. Mine didn’t really settle until about thirteen months.

Hormones. Some people spot all the time when ovulating.
