Bleeding after birth

[msizzard]

Anyone have any experience of bleeding getting heavier again about week 4 - could I be having a period already?

Hi hun couple of thing's had you stopped bleeding from birth and just started again? I bled for a couple. Of weeks then found it very stoppy starty lol hv said it was my body's way of reminding me to take it easy and are you breastfeeding? My lo is 17+wks now and im exclusively bf and not had a period yet xxx

Could be. .. like above comment could be ur overdoing it if ur not breast feeding though u may have gone back to ur regular Cycle

Exclusively breastfeeding and no I haven't had gap in bleeding. Just got slightly heavier and fibrous this week - more period like.

I think its hard to tell... I bled for 7 weeks and was told I was over doing it couldn't figure out how I was supposed to rest with a newborn?? it was very stop and start.. until my check up when I started the pill, then it stopped completely xxooxx

Def Gets heavier of u start doing more also with Breast feeding ur womb contracts and can make u bleed more. .have U been up and about more? Some People don't have periods when breast feeding but others do. ..I did around 6 weeks if I remember correctly x

Mine went worse in the third week really heavy. It started to go light and I thought it was the end but went heavy again. I'd been overdoing it too which didn't help

mentioned to hv who said take it easy and see how it goes x
