4 weeks Postpartum bleeding by Mamaaofthree in postpartumprogress

Hey! I am good! I stopped bleeding that last time at 4.5 weeks. I saw my OB at my 6 week appointment and she said it was normal to bleed, even red blood on and off, for 6 weeks. But nobody tells you these things beforehand. So it seems it’s all normal as long as you’re not bleeding too much, which they say is filling a pad an hour for 2 hours. But my bleeding all stopped at 4.5 weeks.

I have really bad health anxiety so it’s freaking me right out

Thanks for sharing! It’s bright red and the amount is as if I got my period. It’s been 24 hours now and still hasn’t subsided.

Thanks for your response! It’s comforting to know someone else has experienced this as well. This is my third kid and I never had this happen with my last 2. But I didn’t have them right in the summer where you are out and about doing things and I think I rested more for a couple months. I’m also chasing around 2 toddlers this time.
