Light Bleeding after Birth

Hi all,

I'm now 11 days postpartum and my bleeding has been very light/non-existant.

I did have a manual removal of placenta so I'm wondering if that has something to do with it.

Anyone else had very light bleeding after birth?

Light Bleeding after Birth

I did... But they also told me I lost 1.5 litres of blood after the birth of DS and nearly needed a transfusion so I'm thinking that's why it wasn't so bad.

It still went on for 6 weeks but very light... Could that be the reason?

Light Bleeding after Birth

Completely normal! Happened with all three of my births but after bubs number three it did come back quite heavy...so went really light after day 10 but then a few days later or trying to poo it came back again! My midwife confirmed it was totally normal!

Thanks girls :)

My GP isn't worried but I thought I'd see other point of views.

Thanks again!
