TW BLOODY PADS
I'm 8 days postpartum, yesterday I over did myself with walking and eventually started bleeding quite a lot after not bleeding a lot at all and it ended up leaking over the sides (the first image)
I did call triage and they told me to keep an eye on it
Today the bleeding isn't as heavy but it's still somewhat there and a little red
Is this something to be concerned about?

I had c sections but I bled for quite a while (at least 2 weeks). My bleeding was similar to this and I defiantly found I bled more the more active I was. I think it’s large clots you need to be more concerned about! But if you’re worried it’s worth getting reassurance. Are you still seeing a midwife? X
you’re only 8 days, it’s very normal just take it easier
It’s only been 8 days this is completely normal the more you do the more blood you will see when you rest you’ll have less blood. Congratulations on your bundle of joy.

Looks normal lovely. Bleeding after birth can stop & start and can either be really light & then be really heavy. I wouldn’t personally be worried, you are only 8 days postpartum! As long as you aren’t passing really big clots all is fine, you did say you over did it with walking etc just for your body moving a little too much xx
