Hi Ladies,
Today I am exactly 10 days postpartum and since my section I never had proper postpartum bleeding, only a brownish discharge when I wipe off after a wee or very slight spotting. Today suddenly I had bright red bleeding similar to a period flow. Is this normal? I thought the bleeding is supposed to reduce or stop after a certain point.
TIA

Mine was up and down as well, my midwife said it was normal for the bleeding to stop and start - I was also worried when I thought it had slowed completely then I saw red bleeding. My bleeding has stopped now for a week, so at around the 3 week mark, hoping it doesn’t start up again.

I agree with both women here.

I've had only spotting, basically. Brownish, and has become red also. It's normal for it to ebb and flow. Mine has had days where I had no flow than days where I've had spotting. It can't decide what it wants to do

Yea normal, just keep an eye for clots larger than a £2 coin is what I was told. Call for advice if that happens.

Lol I bled for 6 weeks and then 2 weeks later I got my normal period I was breastfeeding for 6-7 weeks a week after I stopped I got my period 😂
