Post partum Lochia

so I'm almost 4 weeks PP, I know I've posted about lochia on here before but I'm curious. At 2 weeks PP my lochia pretty much completely stopped. Then at 3 weeks it started coming back and was brownish with pink spots. Well today, at almost 4 weeks, I noticed quite a bit of pink lochia. It was heavier than normal because I noticed it dripping into the toilet. Is this normal? Not passing any clots or anything but I can definitely tell it's coming out heavier than it has been in awhile. Should I be concerned? Thanks

  • Have you been more active lately? The nurses told me that moving around more would make the lochia heavier and pinker.

    I believe it can be normal. I'm almost 2 1/2 weeks pp and I've had very light bleeding to where some days I had nothing at all. But today I've had bright red blood. I've read/been told if you're more active it can cause more bleeding and that it being off and on for up to 6 weeks is normal.

  • It does come and go. Nothing to be worried about unless you are soaking through a pad. Of course, call your OBGYN just to be safe.
  • Normal for me but I know its due to activity. I can't just take it easy and I'm paying for it.
