What’s normal for pp bleeding?

[Lolarosemama]

I’m one week postpartum and my lochia is bright red again every now and then. Is this cause for concern?

It’s not excessive and seems to be after lying down for a long time or a bit of movement, but I didn’t know if the colour might be a worry. So far no other symptoms.

Advice/experience appreciated!

This was similar to me. Unless it's getting heavier or passing large clots my midwife told me not to worry.

I had to be heavily stitched up after my first child, so had a lot of bleeding after, also clots. Midwife came to see me every day for a week and bleeding got less after a week, but still had some discharge for at least 2 weeks. I found I had to rest more and if I didn’t the bleeding would start again.

I'm 8 weeks PP and bright red lochia was on and off for about 4 weeks for me! Completely normal for it to start and stop. Xx
