Could be either. Think I was about 5 weeks when my first period came and it was heavy!

Going through the exact same thing now 7 weeks pp.
I’m getting my bloods done by my GP to check for any sign of infection, but they said it’s most likely secondary pp hemorrhage as I’m exclusively bf

I’m going through the same thing nearly 6 weeks PP. I stopped bleeding for about a week and I’m now bleeding bright red & heavy again. Unsure whether it’s my period or PP bleeding still

Anyone else up feeding their Bebe?

Small head reported following 20 week scan

Has anyone else had it flagged that their baby is in the bottom 5th percentile for head size?

They said everything was fine whilst we were in the scan and then I got a phone call the next day saying that it’s on the small side and we’re being referred to a paediatric specialist at St George’s. Has anyone else had this and how did things go??

Would you bring 9 week old to a family party of 35+ people?

These are also people who will want to pass the baby around and get a turn to hold him. He just got his 2 month shots two days ago

Exercise 6 weeks after c section

What movement did people start to introduce? I won’t do anything too vigorous until I’ve seen the pelvic physio as I don’t want to compromise anything that may have been extremely weakened through pregnancy! But just wondering what types of classes/movement people started off with?

Is this normal??

I’m 29 weeks pregnant and having really aching legs and they’re all lumpy and swollen. Above the knee and behind the knee . Should I be worried ? My legs have never looked like this up until a few days ago. ??
