Lochia come back bright red at 6 weeks

[lozzenge]

I thought it was supposed to go brownish by now. anyone experienced this.

you sure its not your period?

mine always came back at 6 weeks regardless of bf

is lochia supposed to stop first. mine did go brownish but come back bright red again. no don't think so not heavy enough.

I have had my period at 6 weeks both times

Any nasty smell or pain? Could be a sign of infection if so?

when mine went bright red again, HV said i'd been doing too much. Was true! REsted more and it went away.

No smell or nasty pain. I have gone back to work. lifting and carrying. Can you get ur period before lochia stops?

I have experience of this and it was because I was doing too much (like bluecow) - the MW said that my blood pressure was raised which would open up the blood vessls in the wound on the uterus again.

I think the others are right then and it's to do with you being more active.
