how much blood is too much - postnatal loss

My ds is 2 weeks old tomorrow. My loss had slowed down to some light browny pink spotting until yesterday. It's now heavy and bright red. Do I need to be concerned?

My flow did the same after both births - slowed down, and also went a browny red, then increased dramatically again. I don't think it's unusual but do report any pains or large clots.

Have u exerted yourself a bit more the last couple of days? If so that will be why it's increased again.

I suppose I've been out and about more but I wouldn't say I've exerted myself as such, weather has been to bad for decent walks lol.

I will just keep an eye and as suggested, its more than likely normal :)

Yes, just remembered, my midwife told me to take it a bit easier after the flow increased.
