Hello! I had my daughter 5 weeks ago & I bled for about 2 weeks then it stopped. A few days ago I started bleeding however it's really heavy. Is this my period? Can it come back this soon? Or should I be worried?
Did you over do it? After my last pregnancy, I felt great and would over do it and the bleeding would start again. Take it easy, put your feet up and remember you are still recovering.
No your fine not a period it's your uterus still getting cleared out it does come and go gets red,lots of it or turns brownish however if your clotting huge sized like a ping pong ball and pass 2 give your Drs office a call,in the mean time take it easy put your feet up relax drink water don't use a tampon yet you can bleed for 6 weeks sometimes more or less it depends on your activity breastfeeding but of course if your worried call you DR.
When I over did it and lifted things after some of mine I did this and had clots too. I would slow down and rest more. Also if it keeps up or gets worse you need to let the doctor know. There could be a problem. Probably not a period though. Don't lift more than the weight of your baby, that was what they told us back in my day. Usually I had bleeding for over a month though until it finally stopped.
I got my period when my son was 5 weeks old. It was really heavy. That's probably what it is, but just mention it at your 6 week checkup.
