I think I got a wee bit of lochia now and then for up to 8 weeks, though it really tailed off after 5. It was always "doing too much" made me bleed, so maybe get your feet up a bit? After all, the blood comes from where your uterus is healing over, where the placenta has been. So too much jostling can cause you to bleed a bit.

G'wan, put some trashy telly on and cuddle your baby with your feet up. You've earned it! :)
