bleeding 6 weeks after birth

I'm not sure if this is really the place to ask questions pertaining to instances after child birth, but this has been the only realy insightful and helpful site I have come across and I hope someone can help me. I gave birth 6 weeks ago and just got up an hour ago from a 2 hr nap. When I got up I had severe bleeding, gush-like equivalent to maybe 4-5 tbsp. I have had no cramps, as I usually had with a period, and even so my periods are never gushing or sudden like that. I haven't had bleeding much since, just slight spotting. But my question is, is this a "new" period or something more? Am i going to have to deal with my periods being different? And if this is even what it is, is tampon usage at exactly 6 weeks after delivery safe? I had a tear also during delivery by my urethra and it caused me a lot of pain the first few weeks, but now it always feels like a pressure instead of a pain, could the bleeding be related to that? Please help. thanks.
