Is it normal to stop bleeding then start up again at 8 weeks postpartum? I’m concerned because this didn’t happen with my other two kids and also 1 I’ve been dealing with ppd 2 i just started working out could either of those cause me to start bleeding again. I worry my body is under too much stress
I stopped and started again but it was about 4 weeks not 8, this could just be your period but keep an eye on the flo of it if it gets heavy get checked i hemorrhaged after being told it was my period 4 times. Had to have surgery i had something left in my womb from the birth

That only happened to me after my 3rd baby and it was at 6 weeks (ish) postpartum. I had stopped bleeding and then had what seemed to be a period at 6 weeks. Normal blood flow for a period and it lasted about a week. I haven’t bled since and baby is almost 9 months.
Mine did that to me, this is my first baby and she was a c-section. Stopped for a few days at the 6 week mark but started right back up and I’m now 8 weeks postpartum and it’s now seeming to stop again. It should be noted, I hemorrhaged and had to receive blood after delivery but ended up being fine.
It could be your period or you could just not be done bleeding watch the blood loss/ clots/pain and if you get concerned call your OB. Take the work outs easy or stop them and see if it helps, you could need more healing time.
Idk that never happened to me and I have 4 kids. I would call your Dr to see
I had my baby April 9th. Bleed until April 27th and just had my period at 7w pp. I started Sunday and stopped last night. I’d guess it’s normal
