Is it normal for the flow of bleeding to fluctuate postpartum?
I’m only 9 days postpartum. I feel like the flow has gone from heavy at first all the way to light (I was surprised it was light so quickly) and now it’s more medium. Is that normal? I’m not having any extra pain or discomfort or anything.

Absolutely. I always thought I was about to stop bleeding then it would come back heavy
Yes, just keep in mind unless you are going through more than an over night pad an hour or passing major clots you should be okay! I suggest making sure you are taking in fluids (not just water you need electrolytes too!) and iron until postpartum bleeding has ended!
Yes, normal for sure.
Thanks everyone.
Yes mine was heavy one day to light the next. It might also just depends on the person as well! But if you have any concerns you can contact your ob as well to be on the safe side!
