Bleeding at 9 weeks postpartum

Hi I’m not sure what the best thing to do is, I stoped bleeding around 6-7 weeks postpartum and my doctor told me if I kept bleeding past 7 weeks I needed to get an ultrasound.

The bleeding completely stopped around 7 weeks so I thought it would be ok. It came back now and looks like dark red blood? It’s like a light period enough to fill a pad after a few (3-4) hours but not super heavy.

I’m exclusively breastfeeding but could this just be the return of my period ? I was really hoping it wasn’t going to come back this early haha. I don’t have cramps like I used to and it’s definitely not as heavy as my period used to be. It’s been going for 2 days now… I know your period changes after birth sometimes so could just be that.

18w gender scan

Has anyone had a gender scan where the sonographer was about as confident as they could be about baby's gender, then found out it was wrong later? We had a private scan today at 18+1 and we're over the moon but part of me is just scared we will have our anomaly scan in a couple of weeks and be told otherwise!! Sonographer today did seem very confident but I am just anxious 😅

How often are Dr appts in 3rd trimester?

Weeping from c section scar

I am 2 weeks 3 days PP and there has been a bit of oozing from corner of my incision.
Midwife has said it’s not too much to worry as it’s not red, swollen or hot to touch and been put on antibiotics since Thursday
Today I noticed a odour so have tried to air out the incision (which is under a skin fold) to see if that helps.

I have also notified 111 and waiting for an out of hours doctor to call me.

Just wanted to know if anyone else experienced this to help me be less anxious while I wait for doctors.
