Period 5 weeks postpartum?

Im 5 weeks postpartum tomorrow as well. My bleeding is always coming and going. It normally comes back if I’ve done a long breastfeeding session or gone for a long walk. My health visitor said it is very normal

Maybe that’s it then, I did overdo it a bit on a walk yesterday. I didn’t realise how many hills that the path I chose had 😅 x

I think that would do it. Very normal. Maybe just hold off those hills for a another week or two 😂

I had similar with my son 2 years ago, bleeding had stopped then about 7/8 weeks pp I had bleeding very similar to a period.
I was exclusively breast feeding and my period didn’t start again until 11 months pp so it was just the end of the post birth bleeding I think. You’re still well within the normal timeframe to still have bleeding.

Oh that makes me feel better then! When you look online, every website tells you different but basically just says you should have discharge by week 3 and that’s it! So hard to find any postpartum information that goes beyond the first couple of weeks x

My midwife explained to me bleeding restarts like this when the scab that has formed in your womb breaks off. It's unlikely to be your period if you're EBF.
