Question about PP bleeding

beanersmommy · March 2013

So at the end of 2 weeks PP, my bleeding had basically tapered off to pink then yellow. Two days after it went away, it came back red. Not super heavy but in small gushes maybe once or twice a day.

I am contemplating calling my OB because I am not sure if this is normal (nor can I remember how long I bled after having DD). Any thoughts?

It's normal. I asked my midwife and she said that I was probably doing too much too quickly.. So I have taken it a little easier since and it has gone away again.
