Post partum bleeding - advice!

[Ismo456]

3rd baby so I should know this…6 days PP

Had a 750ml haemorrhage straight after delivery (long hard induction labour), heavy bleeding for the first 2 days. Then it seemed to taper off much quicker than it had with my previous births. To the point where I hadn’t bled all day today.

the past 2 days I’ve been back to being active, done the school run which is about 45min-1hr round walk at slowish pace. also walked up to the shops today, again about 1 hour round trip.

was sitting down this evening and felt a small gush, a bit like when your period is quite heavy, not enough to fill a pad, but continued with bright red blood when I wiped, then stopped. Just had a long soak in the bath, got out and wiped and bright red again.

im so hormonal at the moment and feel like im on edge waiting for something bad to happen 😫 is this normal to still be bright red on day 6, especially after a whole day of not bleeding at all and a few days of it tapering down?

or should I be worried that I’m going to hemorage again? I’m so scared x

Totally normal after a busy day.

Mine was all over the place at that stage. Some days nothing and others really heavy and some days were a mix of gushes and nothing throughout the day.

Thanks so much both

that post delivery bleed has really spooked me, keep waiting for it to happen again 😢

That's quite a lot of walking for 6 days pp! Can you walk less tomorrow and get someone else to do pick up?

Yes I’m going to take it easy for the next few days. I had total cabin fever and had started to feel more normal so thought I could be going about my normal day to day, but maybe I’ve over done it a bit!
