What could this be? (Tmi)

[SpinningCogs]

DC2 is 5 weeks old. However, I've been getting some bright red bleeding, at least for the last week, and am not absolutely certain there ever hasn't been some red (but mainly brown by now). Not much, and no pain or clots, but I don't believe this is right at this stage. I've got an appointment to see my GP but I guess I'd like to know what it could be. Could it be some retained placenta if my milk came in and am EBF? I had 'ragged' membranes- could it be anything to do with that? Thanks.

5 weeks after birth is pretty normal to still be bleeding, as long as not foul odour, loads of clots or totally flooding I wouldn't worry to much.

Thanks, that's the kind of answer I was hoping for. I was still bleeding for longer than this with DC1, so am not worried about that by itself, but I thought it shouldn't be bright red by now? Am I going to be wasting the GP's time....?

I found if I had overdone it a bit, there was more red blood.
Went from the darker blood to fresh looking a few times.
Maybe speak to health visitor instead of GP?

I was still bleeding red blood at 5 weeks, it started to ease off shortly after. I also dtd for the first time at 8 weeks and had bright red blood then too. Dr said it was totally normal
