Is it normal for me to still be bleeding?

Question

I had my daughter 3 weeks ago and about a 5 days ago I stopped bleeding but now I am bleeding again. Is this my period coming back or am I still bleeding from giving birth?

Answer 1

It's still postpartum bleeding. You can bleed 6 weeks, sometimes longer, after you give birth. Just make sure to call your doc if you soak a pad an hour or pass blood clots that are golf ball size.

Answer 2

You are still bleeding from giving birth. It took me almost 5 weeks to stop and some women it takes 6. It should be light though.

Answer 3

You bleed on and off for six weeks after birth, so this is most likely just stuff from birth. Call the doctor if you are still worried.

Answer 4

You may still be bleeding. It takes about a month or so for the uterus to fully contract back to its pre-pregnancy state, sometimes a bit longer if this is a second or further child.

If you're breast feeding, don't expect a real period during most of the lactation/breast feeding time. If you aren't, chances are you will menstruate again in about 6-8 weeks postpartum.

Answer 5

I'm still bleeding and it's been 5 weeks since I had my son.
