Hey Megan,

I'd ask your MCHN or GP about it just to be on the safe side. I know that my bleeding would come and go quite a bit......some days I thought "great, it's gone" and the next day, woosh! I know the MCHN explained it to me this way: where the placenta was attached to the uterus, it is raw there after it comes away after birth. Over time it heals over, but as the uterus contracts down and returns to normal, the wound too is getting smaller, but just like you have knocked a scab and get some bleeding, so the same applies to the spot where your placenta was attached to the uterine wall. Make sense? Anyway, I was concerned about things coming and going and found it good to get some reassurance from the MCHN about it.

HTH!
