Bleeding again

I’m now 4 weeks pp and my bleeding has gradually got less and less until it became the light yellowish discharge that comes at the end. Iv been having that for a couple of days. Today Iv went to the loo and there is proper red blood on my pad again. And it’s a decent amount. Is this still lochia or is this likely to be my period ?

Following as I'm also 4 weeks pp and had the same thing happen the bleeding went to that dark red/brown colour you get at the end of a period and the blleding was very light then suddenly it was heavy and bright red again

This happened to me, I asked my midwife and she said it's likely that because I'm more active again and moving around more that I've bled a little more, but to just keep an eye on it in case I kept getting big amounts of blood. Also keep an eye out for clots, as I don't think you should be getting those.

The bleeding has since gotten less and less since again to the point it's almost stopped (I'm just over 4 weeks pp)

If you're worried though, please do check in with your midwife or GP! X

Bleeding usually lasts 6 weeks and can start and stop multiple times

It crossed my mind it might be me being active but I was out walking yesterday round a shopping centre and nothing, today Iv done less than that and that’s when Iv started bleeding. No clots just blood

Same things for me. Midwife said it can start up again until 6 weeks pp apparently

Same here, it’s stopped again today for me after starting back up yesterday
I’m hoping it’s finished completely by the end of this week 🙏🏻

So after that one bloody pad Iv had no more blood and back to the yellowish stuff. Think it was just more lochia

What did everyone pack for their section? I'm staying in for 3 days due to mental health, not really sure what I'll need to bring, feeling very nervous. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Pregnancy after c section

What time scale did everyone get pregnant again after a c section?
I know the doc said they recommend eating at least a year to 18 months but it took 4 years to get pregnant the first time after being told we could not conceive naturally so not wanting to stop it happening knowing it could take a very long time again but also worried.
