I’m 3 weeks postpartum today. I had a vaginal delivery and a 2nd degree tear. Everything has been totally normal as far as healing, no complications or issues. My bleeding was very faint and almost gone, and then all of a sudden yesterday I have bright red blood again. It’s not filling up a pad, I really only notice it when I am on the toilet and it drips down into the bowl or when I wipe. Should I be concerned?

Literally same! I was almost done spotting and then on Sunday, at three weeks postpartum, I started bleeding again lightly. It’s still going on too. I don’t remember this happening with my first so idk if this is normal. I was told not to worry unless I’m filling up a pad or passing big clots so I’m waiting it out currently.

I had the same thing. It went away again after a few more days and was never very much.

I was in the same exact situation with birth and tear.. was sown up. Stopped bleeding by 3 wks. Then same exact bleeding sir like you. I googled it and google said it was bad and. It normal. So I messaged my doctor to talk to her. She said it was perfectly normal!!! That you can bleed for up to 6 wks depending on the situation. And soon as it started it stopped. By all means talk to your doctor just in case cause everyone is different.

No worries I was same

If you were more active than you have been like going a walk or anything that can cause an increase in bleeding but usually nothing to be concerned about

TMI but I noticed when wearing undies I bleed and I think is because it hits my stitches. I still have some spotting/ bleeding at almost 5 weeks PP. every body heals different too!
