Postpartum Bleeding

I'm 7 weeks postpartum on Sunday but I've just gone to have a shower and noticed I've been bleeding again, some fresh red blood here and there but nothing alarming I don't think. I don't think it's my period but just wondered if this is normal? I had a normal assisted vaginal delivery, bleeding was already slowing down, more like brown spotting but now its bleeding again. When I wipe there's traces of blood too.

Are you breastfeeding?

It could be your period attempting to come back. I had my first PP period around 8 weeks and am EBF, but have had on and off bleeding in between. Breastfeeding causes havoc with your cycle 😅

Baby playing position

My little munchkin recently started playing like this with his head back especially during changing. This morning he even did it in his swing. I am a first time mom so I am wondering if any one has experienced this before

Lost 3 weeks on an early dating scan?

So I had spotting last week and I went for a scan to make sure everything was fine it was a transvaginal ultra sound but the said i was measuring at 6 weeks not the 9 that I should be if I go by my last period. Anyone else has this? Baby is fine and im greatful but so disappointed that im not as far on as I thought.

Maybe im being silly but knowing now I have 5 more weeks to wait before I can tell anyone or start sorting things out just disappointed me slightly.
Also I havent dared to have sex since the bleed, am I being over paranoid or just normally cautious? Would love to hear anyone else's experiences on either one.

Thanks

Baby position

Im 29, almost 30, weeks pregnant and i think baby is still in transverse position. I know its fine and she still has plenty of time to flip, i just thought most babies flip by now. Who else had a baby that wanted to wait last minute to flip head down?

Sensitive bum🤷‍♀️

Hi
I'm 5weeks post c section, I stayed in hospital a couple of days after. I noticed my left buttock and lower back was still numb and didn't feel right so the anaesthetist saw me and reassured me things will get better with time and as my mobility improved.
5 weeks have passed now and it's not as numb (though still doesn't feel right) I get an ache in that area when sitting for longer than 10 min and my buttock just feels sensitive compared to the other one? That's the only way I can describe it.
Has anyone else experienced this and did it get any better for you?
