I had my second son, who was sadly stillborn, at 35 weeks on 22 April. It was a vbac, so I don't have a previous "birth" as such to compare it to. With DS1 I bled for about 3/4 days then spotted for about a week. My period came back fairly regularly, about 28/30 days after the birth.
My bleeding post-labour with DS2 seemed to stop after about a week - I just had some minor spotting. This went on for about a week. Now, since last Wednesday I've been bleeding more and it's red blood, not brown blood. It almost seems like a period. Is this normal? I'm desperate for my period to come back asap, as we want to try for another baby, but I'm concerned that the longer the bleeding goes on the longer it will take for my period to return. I just wondered if anyone had any advice, as I don't see my doctor for another 2 weeks.... Thanks!
