Bleeding
Anyone else stopped bleeding after birth and then all of a sudden it’s returned again? Stopped bleeding for about a week and now it’s back again at 4 weeks and fairly heavy. I think it’s too early to be a period but not sure. Wondering whether to contact the doctor or midwife as there’s not much information online about it.

Do you have clots ?
@Ju yes but only small
@Rukhsana that’s what I thought too! Thanks
I’ve had something similar except my post partum bleeding was super light with up cramps (after the initial heavy bleeding and cramping that first week) and now suddenly seems exactly like a period (but I never finish post partum bleeding! 😭)
So I've had that. Either it can be something called lochia eschar which is nothing worrying (I had that) or it could be retained placenta. Can't be sure so you should get checked asap. They might ask you to do a scan. Dm me if you need
Is it a period? I stopped bleeding then had some for a few days so I assume that's what it was.

Bleeding should get lighter, not heavier. I’d suggest you contact your doctor or midwife. Best to get it checked.
