postpartum exercise and bleeding

[newtothis20231]

I'm 7 month postpartum (c section birth), still have not had a proper period just some light spotting.I started back at the gym with a trainer. I have noticed everytime I exercise I start bleeding immediately after. I'm not doing anything that strenuous but I'm worried that something might be wrong. Is this normal? anyone else had a similar situation

I just posted a similar question. I’m 2 months post c section and keep bleeding when exercising (not even that strenuous, mostly walking or lifting my toddler) and feel a bit bloated/slight stomach discomfort (wouldn’t call it pain or cramping). Doctor has put me on antibiotics in case of infection but seems weird that it’s happening when exercising. Did you get any doctor’s advice? And did it eventually go? Also was the blood red (mine is)?

Yes mine was red (fresh blood) from last month it settled down completely, which was a relief and I have started to get my periods again. GP was not really helpful. I just put it down to the trauma of birth and the c section.
