Another PP bleeding question....

I have been spotting for 2 days and *thought* the bleeding was over....  Well I felt a gush before and lo and behold, there was more bright red blood.  This sucks!  I am so sick of wearing pads!!!!

Well, you didn't ask a question, but I bled for 8 weeks PP. My bleeding would come and go, and would be worse when I was more active.

I don't know what I meant to write... I am soooooo annoyed and done with bleeding lol!!!

I went through this for 6 weeks with my son, and figured I got a reprieve this time.  Nope.  Looks like I will hit the 6 week (at least) mark yet again. 

ANd it's not like I have been active either... I have spent all day TRYING to do stuff, but DD is in a fussy mood and won't let me put her down.  All she wants to do is nurse nurse nurse.  Unreal!!

I bled until week 7 and then today saw some blood (I'm 9 weeks). I don't think it's a period since I breastfeed.

Could you be doing too much?

I hate to be Debbie Downer but it might be your period even if you breastfeed. Although most women don't get a period until after they wean some women get their period if their lo sleeps thru the night consistently 4 hours or if you go more than 2 hours between each feeding. Its something to do with the hormones that are released while breastfeeding aren't at a high enough level to trick you body into thinking your pregnant.

I breastfeed/pump around the clock and I've had two already so I speak from experience, which sucks for me bc I was looking forward to being 2 years period free.... oh well lol

Def not my period.... it's over today again.  

I got my first PP period with DS while I was still EBF, but he started sleeping through the night.  We shall see if that happens again this time, although DD shows no signs of being ready to STTN any time soon.

I am having bleeding issues too.  Around 4 weeks, the bleeding dwindled and probably stopped by the beginning of week 5.  Now, at the beginning of week 7, I'm bleeding again!  Just when I use the bathroom but still annoying!
