Hi Ladies 👋🏻 I had my little boy a week ago today and my bleeding was very heavy for the first couple of days and then went to the pink/brownish stage but for the last 4ish days it’s gone back to red. I’m not soaking through pads but deffo a bit messy when wiping etc. just wondering if anyone else has experienced this??? And also postpartum pooping, I went for a poo around day 3 which was solid and then I went for one daily but since today I’ve had diarrhoea and it’s not the most pleasant of colours.. I should mention I’m recovering from a second degree tear as well. Any help would be appreciated 💗

Hey mama congrats! Witch hazel pads,lots of epson salt baths (to keep the stitches clean) ice ice ice. Get a “donut” it’s something that helps to sit comfortably.

My bleeding is the same (2 1/2 weeks). Not sure how you’re feeding, but if you’re pumping and/or breastfeeding your bleeding can be heavier after that as it encourages the womb to contract.
I also suffered really bad with diarrhoea for a good few days, I found trying to eat better and drink more really helped. I found the first week really hard with my appetite etc.

Hiiii, congrats first!🥰
my little girl is 5 days old today, and I’m literally the same in time frame of this but have a few smaller clots and no tear just little graze thankfully but of what I’ve researched it is absolutely normal.
Lots of water and fresh fruit & veg. 😍😍😍

My little girl is 3 weeks old and I am still randomly bleeding ♡♡
I was told it can take weeks to stop qnd is completely normal 🥰
I had a C-Section and didnt poo for nearly 11 days 😫😬 towards the end I was in absolute agony. I was that backed up it was causing pressure on my scar 🥴
I think every ones body is so different.. your body heals in its own way 💚💚💚

Congrats ❤️ and hope the stitches aren’t too painful.
My little boy is 3 weeks today and my bleeding/poo is still a bit up and down light one day & heavy the next but all normal as far as Im told. Spritz for Bits spray really helped with my stitches ☺️ also doing my pelvic floor seems to have helped with the bleeding/diarrhoea xx

I’m breastfeeding and find even now 27 days pp I still have little bleeds. At first thought it was slowing/stopping but found every time I fed her I had a gush of blood.
As long as your not soaking a pad it’s perfectly normal
If your more active this can cause the bleeding to be heavier too.
