Hi guys, I gave birth Friday at 5:58am and my postpartum bleeding is already incredibly light. This is my second baby and I can’t remember how long I bled for with my first to be honest (heavy wise) but I feel like it’s really light really quickly? And I don’t know if that’s normal or anyone else has had the same.
Im still wearing pads etc because bleeding is definitely still there but it’s like a mild period.

Yes, this is normal it’ll probably get heavy again in a few days x

mine was the same! stopped bleeding after 5 days and it came back at day 14 really light and i’m day 27 and having really light every other day x

I gave birth 11 days ago and had this but now I’ve become more active again I’ve now started to bleed and got heavier again so be warned
Congratulations by the way

Congratulations. I’m pretty sure this is normal. I gave birth 3 weeks ago and this happened to me. It comes and goes in stages.

Im now 17 days PP and my bleeding has been quite light since the beginning. I think i only had a day of very heavy bleeding! This is my first so i was expecting days of super heavy bleeding - my midwives have all reassured me that its normal

I had heavy bleed for about 2 days, then had period like flow for a few more days but after that I just had the odd dribble/spotting (still had blood when I wiped though)
Midwife told me that everyones recovery is different, but if it comes back heavier again then it could mean I’m doing too much/putting too much stress on my body

Mine went super light after about 3-4 days too and now at 12 days after, it has come back a bit heavier.
