    bleeding post birth

    i didnt get much bleeding at all after this birth. got probably med/heavy flow for first day then reduced to med/light for a few days and just yesterday (day 6) practically nothing. just before though i got a gush of blood. it wasnt enough to overflow an ultrathin pad but still, is that normal since it was pretty much all gone since the day before?

    sounds normal to me hun, did it happen after a feed? the uterus takes weeks to fully contract down
