Hi hun my baby is 11 weeks and I like you bled for a few weeks then it stopped and started I asked health visitor about it and she saidIit because I was doing to much . ive been having period type cramps but no bleeding for past couple of weeks on and off. Think must be our bodies settling down. Xxxx

Yes just like the last comment mentioned i think it could just be more down to your body adjusting back to normal after carrying a baby around for 40+ weeks our bodies have alot of homework to do.

If the bleeding does continue talk to your G.P about it

Hi,

I am currently experiencing the same. Did your back ache relieve or Does the pain never go and is always there ? What did your doctor say about it and how did it relieve? My back ache is more common on my left side.
