I'm finding mine this time is hugely linked to BF... whenever I sit down to BF little man, I bleed. It's lessened a little bit this week but in the first week or ten days or so, once that initial heavy bleeding passed, every time I fed I'd get a big gush. MCHN said it was normal.

FWIW mine has dropped right back again to brown blood.

Also placenta can look intact but you can still have retained product as the pieces can be very small. As I recently found out when I was bleeding on and off like stop for two weeks and start again. Told midwife and she suggested I see GP and do then had an ultrasound which found retained product. Eventually had the D&C at 15weeks.

But hopefully it's just because you did too much, take it easy.
