Bleeding and cramping coming back 10 days PP

I'm 10 days PP and every day my bleeding and cramping have improved but today it seems to be getting worse. Not nearly as bad as my first few days PP, but definitely worse thanit has been in the last 5 days or so. It's not to the point where I'm soaking a pad an hour, which is what the nurse at the hospital told me to look out for so I'm not too worried, but has anyone else had this happen? I haven't really done much today besides nurse so I don't think I've been overdoing it. If it doesn't improve I guess I'll call the doctor.

Re: Bleeding and cramping coming back 10 days PP

  • Yeah, for the first two weeks or so I would have a couple good days and then one bad day. I just figured it was because ds was in the NICU and I was not taking care of myself the way that I should have. At 4 days pp I was driving down to the hospital, walking all over to meet family in the hospital so that I could get them back to the NICU floor, sleeping in waiting room and pretty much living out of a suit case and back pack.

    I have seen some older posts from last week or so when this has happened to others. I think you will be alright but like you said, if you bleeding picks up or you are super drained of all energy, I would call the doc.

    Congrats on the baby!

  • Thanks - glad to hear I'm not the only one this has happened to. I just took a nap for a little over an hour and still feel pretty much the same so I'll just keep an eye on it. I'm pretty sure my dr is closed today anyway so I'll just wait and see unless it gets a lot worse.
