bright red bleeding

I'm almost 3 weeks postpartum, and my bleeding has been tapering off. But today when I went to the bathroom I noticed a lot of bright red bleeding, which I haven't had since earlier on. I did probably overdo it a little today, but I'm wondering at what point I should be concerned. Have others experienced this?

  • I had that around 3 weeks PP, even though I thought my bleeding has completely stopped. If you are not soaking a pad in less than an hour, I wouldn't worry. It might happen again. 
  • I had the exact same thing happen to me in my third week...it had tapered off, then was bright red again and now it has tapered off again. I'm worried it might happen again too but so far it hasn't and I'll be 4 weeks pp tomorrow!

  • yes! It happened at 4 weeks. I actually did soak one pad in less than an hour with large blots. I called the doctor and said it had to been one pad every hour for 3 hours. Hmm I'm so ready for this to be over.

  • no worries ladies, it's all normal.  i went in for my 6 week check up today and told my dr. that i was still "leaking" occasionally.  she wasn't worried and said it's normal.

    although it sure IS a pain in the a$$!!! Angry

  • It's totally normal, especially since you overdid it a little.  Take it easy!
