Ugh, 5 weeks PP and I think my period just started. I only stopped bleeding about a week ago, this sucks. I'm ebf, I thought that was supposed to keep my period away ( I am going to check with my midwife tomorrow to get her opinion.
My OB told me that I would bleed and then stop for a few days or even two weeks and then start bleeding again. He did say that that second time you bleed is still part of postpartum it doesn't mean that you're on your period.
That is helpful. That is exactly how it's been for me. I was thinking of calling my OB because the bright red bleeding started again, but now at 4 weeks it's stopped. Guess this is normal!
@JessHeppell stitches are annoying. I mindlessly wiped instead of dapping one time and like 3-4 inches of the stitches came out. Went to the OB and it was fine. But stitches are annoying.
I'm a little over 4 weeks pp via csection, I thought my bleeding was pretty much done, until today, I've been passing clots all day, idk why. Is this normal? From what I've read, that the bright red blood is supposed to change to pink, yellow, then clear. I've only had the bright red bleeding this whole time. & the doctors & nurses didn't tell me anything.
I think I have a clogged duct. I'm trying some of the suggestions on Kelly Mom to relieve it. I've had the little lump since Tuesday. How long does it take for it to go away?

Depends, but best to try getting rid of it as soon as possible (though don't get freaked). I've only had one for as long as 24 hours. But am a FTM so don't know how a/typical my experience is.

This is what happened to me. I was concerned and doctor said not to worry, totally normal as long as clots aren't larger than a baseball. I had bright red bleeding with clots (golf ball sized) through 4 weeks pp. Now at 5 weeks it is lightening up in color (pinkish red) and clots are much smaller (as is the amount of bleeding). I called BC I was so concerned with ongoing large-ish clots and bright red bleeding... They were not concerned in the slightest.
