I stopped bleeding at 4 weeks and then a couple days ago I started again. with my 1st I stopped at 4 weeks and it was done. I have my 6 week checkup in another week but should I be concerned about this? I also have heard if you do too much or are on your feet too much bleeding could start again. I have a 15 month old and it's hard not to pick her up through out the day. I just don't know if I should be concerned about the bleeding starting again or if I should give it a few more weeks?

I am also breastfeeding so I don't think it should be my period yet?

I wouldn't worry at all! It is probably not your period since you are breastfeeding. I've had spotting on and off after both of my pregnancies up until two months. I don't like giving medical advice on Yahoo and I'm usually the one who is always saying "Go to the doctor" but I am confident it just post-partum spotting. You can wait until your 6 week check-up as long as you don't feel too crampy or in any pain.
Do take it easy though. With a 15 month old and a 5 week old I'm sure you are very busy and tired. Take care of yourself.

Welcome to your first period post baby. Don't worry about it, but don't use tampons until you get the all clear from your doc.
The only reason you should worry about bleeding from moving about and picking up things is if you were at risk of hemmorrage, or hemmorraged during/after the delivery.
Got to your checkup next week, discuss all this with the doctor, but I'm betting it's just your body getting back to normal again. Just as the muscles relax faster for a second child, the recovery time can sometimes be shorter. Congrats on the new baby!

Bleeding would be on and rancid for 6 weeks atleast. Your physique has been by alot and has alot to scrub out. I merely had somewhat one 6 days in the past and my Dr. suggested provide it 6-8 weeks of bleeding.

Unless you are exclusively breastfeeding, it's possible that it's your period starting again - are you cramping too? As long as it's not huge amounts I wouldn't worry too much, especially since you're seeing the doc next week.

I went through the same thing, but I had a c-section. My life is very active and i could not get rest as I was recommended by my doctor. I would not be concerned unless it has a foul odor or is a different color than usual.

you're probably on your period which comes between 4 and 6 weeks after you gave birth. I wouldn't worry about it.

I think it's perfectly normal to be worrid about his and also normal to be abnormal after having a baby, I've had my fair share!! As long as you are not having pain and heavy cramping you will be fine to wait until your check up!

It's probably your period. Try not to worry, and if you already are really worried, make an appt. with your dr. to be sure. Take care and relax!
