Bleeding still 5 weeks post partum

[Tasha199064]

Hi just after advice I’m 5 week after having my baby and I am bleeding quite heavy again it do slow down practically stop but last week it started again it’s still quite heavy and I noticed a small clot after going to the toilet I went to hospital 2 weeks after giving birth due to heavy bleeding and big blood clot but bit had one since anyone else experience this?

Yes it can be common to last longer than 5 weeks and also flow can increase if you have done a lot for example, long walks, lots of exercise.

take care, rest and it should resolve soon

Could it be your period returning?
I wasn’t able to breastfeed and my period turned up 5 weeks after birth. I had bled for approx 3.5 weeks and had a break from bleeding then period.

Mine was still on the heavy side at 5 week, and came and went a few times. I believe it's normal 🙂

That was normal for me. I didn't fully stop bleeding until 8+ weeks postpartum.

it could be your period. I bled for about 3 weeks, stopped for a few days, then bang on 28 days started again. Straight into a regular cycle.

I was fully breastfeeding as well.

Thank you everybody for the advice made me feel better ☺️

I think so it’s been quite heavy go over a week

This. I had a c-section . Not sure if that is relevant, but I definitely bled more if I’d been walking a lot etc.
