I had it fluctuate and bleed the entire 6 weeks after birth for all 4 of my kiddos. Some days will be heavier than others and it’s pretty normal
Mine fluctuated the whole six weeks, it would come and go sometimes lighter and sometimes heavy
should be starting to bleed less, I bled a lot the first 4 weeks with my 1st baby and when i had my 2nd i hardly bled at all and was done by the time I was discharged to go home 3 days later
Yes I bleed for 6 weeks postpartum. Every body body is different… my 1st baby I bleed for 6weeks straight and it got heavy towards the end… 2nd baby I barley even bled. Didn’t even need a pad
Did you get up and move around more than usual? I over did it with my 3rd and kicked the bleeding into overdrive. I seen my doctor as well.
4 weeks postpartum - could be your first menstrual cycle and maybe that’s the increase.

This happened to me! I started to really slow down at the beginning of week 3 and then i thought i was almost done and week 4 i had a lot more bleeding. I thought something was wrong but my ob said it was normal
Could be your period so that’s why there is more blood
It’s probably from the scab falling off the placenta wound, thats normal for about 4 weeks pp. It makes the bleeding pick up for a couple days
If you’re doing too much that can happen. Rest and relax
