PP bleeding tmi

How long pp did you have heavy bleeding? I was fine 5-6 days pp, but in the last four days it was really picked up and is almost constant. I feel fine, it's just grossing me out and I don't remember this with dd1. I'm two weeks pp, I don't know how to fix my ticker

I'm 2 weeks post c/s. Mentioned to my doc that my bleeding had already stopped and how great that was b/c I bled 4-6 weeks with my previous babies. She was like yeah... Don't get your hopes up. It may still come back- there is no rhyme or reason at all. But she also reminded me that increased bleeding is almost always a sign of over-exertion so pay attention and ease up when it picks up.

I am fairly certain a portion of it due to over exertion unfortunately. My two year is now home with me as of last week and one can only rest so much with a toddler running around...good to know I'm not the only one who's experiencing it coming and going.

I'm almost 3 weeks PP and the bleeding stopped/slowed for a few days, but lately it has really picked up. I'm using the overnight maxis and going through several a day. Oh and my lady bits are really sore again, like they were rights after delivery.

It is normal for it to slow down, or stop entirely, and then pick right back up. I find it picks up when I exert myself more. With my son it stopped around 2 weeks, and then randomly at 3-4 weeks pp it picked up again for another 2 weeks. Don't get your hopes up *too* high just yet:) Enjoy the break though!

Try a new pad. The soreness may actually be a sensitivity to that brand. Always makes me sore. I have to use Stayfree w/o wings.

@slwprincess Thanks, I'll try it. I still have some that the hospital gave me. I suspect it's just vag soreness though...like the kind I'd have during my periods (I have endometriosis).
