It can be... but you may want to check with your doctor for the reassurance. Some women find their cycles change after having a baby and they find they have a new norm.

True, my periods changed after my daughter, your body changes so much period... but get it checked out 15 days does seem a little long especially for heavy bleeding. Are you taking any new contraceptive? Go to the doctor anyhow and best wishes.
