So im 16 days postpartum and my bleeding was pretty minimal, and after a week id say it stopped or was extremely light but the last few days ive been bleeding on and off it will be like all of a sudden then it goes away again. Is this normal?
Any advice is appreciated. I had a vaginal birth with an epidural and had quite a few stitches.

Up to 6 weeks postpartum irregular bleeding is normal I’ve been told unless is extremely heavy

I’ve been having the same issue, but I think as you start to become more mobile and you’re upright more gravity will help more blood come out - my midwives have said as long as you’re not filling a pad in an hour or less or losing huge clots it’s fine
