I'm 10 days pp and my bleeding had stopped and I was getting light yellow discharge. However last night I wiped a little too hard and had a gush of blood come out and really heavy bleeding. I had some stitches post birth which I thought had dissolved but now worried I've opened them. Since last night the bleeding did reduce a little however around 6pm today the heavy bleeding returned, to the point I can feel it coming out and pads pretty full. Also some discomfort down there. Is this normal? I have spoken to triage who said normal, but it doesn't feel right to me for the bleeding to come back so heavily. Any help or advice would be appreciated

Bleeding comes and goes for weeks, I had this with my first LO. However if the heaviness doesn’t slow, I’d call your midwife in the morning who was doing your home visits?
