Postpartum Bleeding: Understanding and Addressing Lighter Bleeding After Delivery


Question
Hello, I gave birth to my son on april 18th i had bleeding for about 2 weeks and then it stopped and bled again the 4th week, i had bleeding may 1st to the 9th and i think little bit after that but i can't remember.

on june 1st i had 1 spot of blood,and when i wiped after i went to the bathroom there was some. but then it stopped, and i had no bleeding yesterday until last night sometime in the middle of the night i started bleeding again and then same thing as the 1st one but little bit more blood this time and then it stopped

i want to know if this is the start of my period or what's going on, i can't ask my doctor at the moment.

Answer
Dear Terri

it is not normal to have such repeated attacks of bleeding within a short period of time after delivery. The most common cause for duch things is possible presence of some remnants of pregnancy, as membranes, inside your uterus. Therefore, an ultrasound may be necessary to comment on the interior of your uterus.

Best of luck
