Hi everyone,
I gave birth to my little boy on 31st July, normal vaginal delivery and I didn’t have any interventions and luckily just a 1st degree tear that didn’t require any stitches! (I had a horrible pregnancy so deffo got lucky with my birth 😂)
I’m 10 days PP now and my bleeding has gotten a bit heavier over the last two days. No clots but there is definitely more of it and it is still bright red. It isn’t worryingly heavy but I just assumed it would slowly tail off and turn brown rather than get heavier and stay red so I don’t know if I should be concerned.
Is this normal? I don’t want to ring my GP unless it’s totally necessary as I know how busy they have been recently.
How long can I expect to be bleeding for roughly? I know it’s probably so different for everyone. I’m not breastfeeding sadly as baby was having a hard time latching, I’m not sure if this makes a difference x
