Better out than in, I say I would think it would still be PP bleeding too. Lucky that you only got away with a liner for a while though - I was on maternity pads for 6 weeks before it stopped immediately, then got AF at 8 weeks PP! Now THAT'S annoying ]]> Wed, 08 Apr 2009 15:12:04 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25767&PID=655981&title=bleeding-tmi#655981 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25767&PID=655937&title=bleeding-tmi#655937 Author: busymum

Have you had extra cramps lately or been a bit more energetic (gone for a walk or on your feet a bit)? That can set off the PP bleeding again - probably for the last time in your case, I would say.]]> Wed, 08 Apr 2009 14:34:53 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25767&PID=655937&title=bleeding-tmi#655937 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25767&PID=655858&title=bleeding-tmi#655858 Author: SquishysMum

Thanks ladies, it just freaked me out a little! I'm not expecting any clots or anything, they scanned my uterus when they were looking at my kidneys when she was 8 days old, and there was nothing there.

Here's hoping it goes away again for months...]]> Wed, 08 Apr 2009 13:07:25 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25767&PID=655858&title=bleeding-tmi#655858 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25767&PID=655836&title=bleeding-tmi#655836 Author: BugTeeny

I got AF at 6 weeks PP, but nothing for about 8 months after that.

Same thing happened to me. All cleared up at 4 weeks, then bleeding again at around 6 weeks, I thought it was a light period but it hasn't come back since.

I agree with the others, if it's heavy and clotty get checked ]]> Wed, 08 Apr 2009 12:09:41 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25767&PID=655804&title=bleeding-tmi#655804 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25767&PID=655794&title=bleeding-tmi#655794 Author: Shezamumof3

PP bleeding usually lasts up to 6 weeks, and it can come back red from almost nothing, it shouldn't last too long though, if you start getting big clots and pain them let your MW know.
You could let her know anyways, but its most probably fine.

It *could* be AF, but its most likley just PP bleeding still.]]> Wed, 08 Apr 2009 11:58:46 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25767&PID=655794&title=bleeding-tmi#655794 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25767&PID=655780&title=bleeding-tmi#655780 Author: FreeSpirit

I hate to say it, but I got my AF back four weeks post-partum, even with exclusively BF. In saying that, if its very heavy or you have clotting, get yourself to the doctor asap as it can be a sign of infection or retained products.]]> Wed, 08 Apr 2009 11:44:32 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25767&PID=655780&title=bleeding-tmi#655780 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25767&PID=655768&title=bleeding-tmi#655768 Author: SquishysMum

So, Lydia is now 5 weeks old, and I appear to have started bleeding again. I finished heavy bleeding within 4 days of her birth, and the last 2 weeks has been little enough to just wear a liner, and has been brown. Today, it's started up red again, and heavier. I understand that it can get heavier again after being light, but I didn't think it was meant to get red again?

Please tell me I haven't got my period back again already...]]> Wed, 08 Apr 2009 11:36:21 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25767&PID=655768&title=bleeding-tmi#655768
