Im 1wk post partum after 3rd bub and my bleeding has stopped.........I cant remember from the last two when it stopped. Just wondering if I should be concerned?
He's a great feeder, its gone through the usual stages of red/brown/mucousy yellow/brown spotting, not in any pain or anything and I know my uterus has contracted nicely back into place.
Contemplating whether to temp fate and go swimming this weekend :lol:
With both my girls the bleeding had pretty well stopped then it would start again - both times it wasnt completely gone till 6-7wks.
Hopefully youre ok to go swimming! :)
congrats on your bub too :)
Anna - b'feeding actually helps to minimise the bleeding because it helps the uterus to contract back faster. So I'd say you're fine!
I thought that might have something to do with it Willow.
Yay now I can swim lol
I still bled for a good 5weeks or more, and that was with a lot of breastfeeding lol. Lucky you to have it stop so soon!
ETA: I also got my period back at 3 months, so my body just ignores the fact that I'm breastfeeding I think LOL.
Without being a negative nelly - the bleeding may come back. But if not - enjoy the swim!!! :D
ive never beld for more than a week with my births.....and ive breastfed all of them.....and yes b/f defn has something to do with it. Yet another plus for b/f !!
Enjoy the swim !!!
I had a similar case, thought it was over around a week after birth and then it came back on and off for about 4 weeks, usually after a feed, but not heavy. Hope you can get to go swimming!
Mine only lasted 1 wk. Actually it really slowed up day 4 and i thought it was gone but then i passed a few clots. I tend not to be a long bleeder during my normal cycles anyway short and heavy so iam not sure if that relates to it at all.
I have always bled a lot, but fast. I have never had it for longer than a few days... we had DTD when Harmony was just over 48 hrs old...:redface: the longest we have had to wait after a bub was 6 days....:lol:
Lucky you, enjoy it babe!!! :D
