Postpartum Bleeding

Hello
I've not really posted on here since my little boy was born 6 weeks ago but you all seem great with advice so I hope you don't mind me posting out the blue like this.
Basically, to cut a long story short I had a difficult pregnancy and bled throughout most of it as I had Placenta Previa. I had an emergency section at 37 weeks when my waters broke although my placenta had moved at this point but my little man was breech... TYPICAL!
My question is, is it still normal for me to be bleeding 6 weeks (to the day)? My bleeding goes through spells of being heavy to light but since yesterday and today it is the heaviest it's been. I am pretty sure I had my "period" 28 days after delivery as I had period pains and I then had ovulation pain what would have been mid-cycle if that was my period.
All this bleeding is really getting me down now. I just feel like I have had a matress in my knickers for the past 10 months now imageimage
