Postpartum bleeding
I am 11 days pp and my bleeding has really eased up and lessened. But now, even though there's barely anything in comparison to how it was and it's been gradually getting lighter... I am slightly concerned about the colour. It's more watery than anything now or like the consistency of watery discharge and sticky, it's mostly a really pale pink colour, but on my pads it almost looks sometimes a bit yellowy/green/grey... I'm not sure if that's how the pink looks once it's settled on the pad or what, because when I wipe it's mostly the pinky, but slight tinge of pale yellow..... Any advice? Is this normal or should I be concerned?

Did you have stitches? They could be infected and the yellow be pus?
Yes I did, the midwife checked my stitches a few days ago and said all healing well. The yellow definitely isn't pus. It's more like such a feint pink that it almost looks yellowy, rather than it actually being yellow itself.... If that makes sense
This is exactly what I’m experiencing - I had stitches too - I’ve had them checked and all is well so I’m sure it’s our normal if that makes sense x
My bleeding lasted for 6days only.
I’m almost 4 weeks pp
Lochia does go watery/mucousy and light in colour like orange/yellow towards the end of the healing process x
I checked on Google and there's actually a chart and days, it should go pinkish brown and then whitish yellow so all good 😊😊
fab thank you xx
That’s reassuring!😅
