Lochia returning

I had a c section 3 weeks ago and my recovery has been really smooth. Minimal pain, minimal blood loss, scar healing well etc so I probably have returned to “normal” life quite quickly. My lochia stopped about 5 days ago, and it was never really heavy after the first 72 hrs quickly becoming light in flow and brown and then yellowish.

today the bleeding has returned, and its brown in colour (which is making me not too alarmed, I think i would be more concerned if it looked fresh and red), but I have had to change my pad 2-3 times today (no big clots and not soaking through).

this happened to anyone else?

Yes. Mine stopped/eased off several times then started back up.

Mine stopped and started for around 5 weeks.

It stops and starts especially if you are a bit more active.
