Lochia has stopped?

6 replies

I'm 12 days postpartum and lochia seems to have stopped! Had a bit of blood overnight but very little, more like the end of a period bleed and today there's been nothing. I've been cutting down and stopped pumping today, could this be a factor? Seeing midwife tomorrow so can ask her, just wondering what other people have experienced and if it's stopped for good now!

Mine stopped at about 8 days after.

Mine stopped about a week after birth, both times. I don't think it's anything to worry about (though obviously ask your HV/MW just to be sure).

Yup I am 2.5 weeks post birth and mine stopped for the most part a while ago. It can be a little stop start though so be prepared for some more every now and then for a while yet, just in case :)

Mine stopped after a week or so - but then started up again after a few days, so just be prepared for that!

Hey OP I’m the same as PPs, bleeding stopped after about 10 days, but every so often starts up again. Also depending on whether you’ve started contraception yet can have an effect apparently.

Mine stopped pretty quickly too, can't remember exactly when though. I remember it did come back after stopping but it was never much, more like spotting.
