Postpartum bleeding

Hi moms . I just had my second baby and everything was going normal but then I stopped bleeding 1 week postpartum . I still have brown discharge but so very little almost non at all and period like cramping . Is this normal ?

I think it would depend on your body, I personally only bled for about 2 weeks. If you are worried though I would mention it to your doctor💕

If I remember correctly, it's normal. And the period like cramping will be your uterus returning to normal size. It's never a bad idea to bring up your concerns with your OB or GP so they can double check. Or if you still have a home visiting nurse? I think my nurse came very regularly for a month but I can't remember

It’s normal until like 6 weeks! Same thing happened to me so I contacted my OB and she reassured me it was normal. But if you’re not sure contact your doctor to get checked 🙂

Bleeding came back today after 3 days of no bleeding . So wired

Sometimes it stops and then you do something to aggravate it. With my second I took it wayyy easier than my first and did a lot less movement for the first 2 weeks. My bleeding tapered off pretty quick but u do remember it coming back or being heavy a few times in that 6 weeks and I knew it was because I did too much or too much bending or whatever.
