Hi, just wanted to post in here and get others opinions on this. we have an appointment with the MCHN on Tuesday so will ask when we go there..so here's whats going on...btw I'm breastfeeding!
my 'lochia' seemed to have pretty much stopped and was clear by last weekend..but then by wednesday this week I was getting period-like cramps and then have started bleeding again. its not quite period heavy but I am definitely needing to wear a normal pad with it. I'm still occassionally gettin the cramping..and I know that's normal after each feed. was feeling a bit nauseas this morning but that could just be from the sleep deprevation! My tummy also seems to have 'grown' again..it went flat really quickly after birth and now it seems bloated.
so does this seem normal? I'm seriously hoping that its not me being one of those unlucky ones who gets their period back straight away..but is that even possible at only 5 weeks past birth??
I had that with my 3rd tho.. I BF her until 7 months, but around the 5 week mark, I satrted bleeding again. My GP asked me if it was fresh red or brown.. I remember him saying that if pain or flow increased to go back to him asap. It was just the last of the flow i think for me.
I did have an internal US at 4month post partum as I started getting INCREDIBLY heavy periods, and they were checking to see if there was any sac left.. but it was all good.. just the way my hormones were.
