Conflicted; advice please?

hcgeoffrey · February 2015

so i just had my baby girl two weeks ago. And i was bleeding moderately heavy. It slowed way down and had stopped for a couple days. But started up again this morning along with pain in my upper abdomin. My blood is like water since i delivered her. It's normally pretty thin to begin with but i dont know if i should call the doctor.
This is my second child and with my first i only bled for three days after my discharge. I know "every baby is different".. The thing is i am on a strict diet and a bunch of vitamins and the blood is like water. Do i call the doctor? Some people have said they bled for 6 weeks. But that it was continuos. Mine started back up after stopping. And im still doing all of my kegals, yoga and pilates.
Advice please.

Yes, always call the doctor in a situation like that.

Thanks, i asked my mother and she says its "normal". But nothing is "normal" about my family. So I figured that i should ask for advice

I would call your doctor or call labor and delivery where you were and ask them. I know with DD when I was discharged they said to call them back if I had any questions and it was after hours or over the weekend.

Call your doctor. You don't want to take any chances concerning bleeding.

I would call but it is normal for it to stop and then start again. Mine did.

Mine has stopped and started again. I'm 2 weeks PP. When it's starts after stopping it's like I'll bleed for 2 hours and it's more like spotting. Then I'll be done for the day. My l&d nurses said it was normal and to expect it. If you're concerned call your doctor.
