LOCHIA (BLEEDING POSTPARTUM) - BLEEDING AFTER GIVING BIRTH - POSTNATAL BLEEDING - What's normal? 

Its been 4 and half weeks postpartum. There is no smell and bleeding.my discharge is now transparent with a hue of white. Can i resume my sex life ?

@@ayeshawaseem1380 you can do things that are non-penetrative sex but I would still wait another 2 weeks to be on the safe side. 💓

After six week i have sex with my husbend. But its painful and bleeding happen in my vagina. is it normal?

I delivered baby 6 weeks ago.Last 2/3 days my bleeding is more heavier. In previous it was light pink or brown coloured.i can't take rest properly for taking care of baby.what can i do now?

@@jannatunnayema5935 I would always advise that you visit a doctor if you are worried. 💕

Has your bleeding got heavier? Have you been getting enough rest over the last few days? Do you feel well? ❤️

@@HypnobirthingWithAnja I had blood loss while delivering, I am on iron supplement now. I am mostly taking bed rest, but I need to hold the baby for feeding, burping /comforting. I dont do any household chores and mostly staying at home. I feel weak sometimes but overall good. Trying to have sleep but It's difficult as you know with newborn. Blood volume is less not heavy. Kind of 3rd day of period blood.

@@iffatara375 thanks so much for replying! I'm glad the bleeding is getting less. Are you eating and drinking enough? Happy to hear that you are in bed resting. Are family helping you? Keep taking the iron. Are you making sure that you are avoiding dairy when taking the iron? No milk/cheese because it prevents iron absorption. ❤️

I'm kind of in the same boat. How did it go?

@@wildlovesould it went good. Nothing to worry 🙂

That's so good to hear! It may be to do with fundal massage and raspberry leaf tea, who knows! It's great that your bleeding stops fast anyway 😃 You may just be one of those lucky women 🍀💞

Wow! I just checked out your channel! It's so good 😍 Are you a vegan? Xxx

@@HypnobirthingWithAnja aww thank you so much! I have honestly been slacking on the quality of my editing, etc. because I don’t have a computer 😅 I have been doing everything on my phone for the past 2 years or so 🥴 My family & I used to follow a vegan diet when we were home in hawaii, but since moving to Georgia & North Carolina (southern United States) it has been challenging, so we follow a plant-based diet now. We also have backyard hens, so we eat homegrown eggs. Our 6 hens are very well taken care of. Spoiled little things! Lol

@@JessicaHolmes that's amazing! It takes alot of determination and creativity to follow a vegan/plant based diet so I take my hat off to you! I need to get more versatile with my cooking as I'm not very good and usually pick easy options that are not very healthy or have meat in them. I'm trying to cut down meat to one day a week. Where in Hawaii are you from and why have you moved away from there? I would love to go to Hawaii some day! I've only seen movies set in Hawaii and I like Jack Johnson the musician and I think he lives on one of the islands. X

Yes definitely get checked if you have a fever and headaches 🙏🤒

It just sounds like the bleeding is soon going to stop completely. Most women do not begin ovulating until at least 6 weeks after childbirth, but a few ovulate sooner. Maybe you are ovulating but it could just be the end of postpartum bleeding. Usually, women who are not breastfeeding ovulate sooner after giving birth than women who do breastfeed. Are you breastfeeding or not? X

Thank you for the reply my bleeding stops after 15 days i guess but now i am bleeding again I think this is a period because I am not breastfeeding anymore. Also I think I have dysmenorrhea. I remember this feeling when I had no baby.

I'm have bby January.... Bleed fi 3 weeks....it stop now I'm in march I'm bleeding little little it go and come in the morning or in the evening... I'm not breast feeding

Thanks so much for your feedback 😃💗

You're very welcome! 👍🤩

You're most welcome 💖

Have you had sex or done anything strenuous? That could have caused the bleeding again at week 5 postpartum 💞

I'm having the same experience please what did you do in your own case because I'm really worried

Hi, it's normal to bleed after birth and your womb is still shrinking back down to its original pre-pregnancy size. But I would get checked by a doctor if you're in pain. It's important to look after yourself really well especially after a C-section. 💞

I'm so sorry to hear this sad news. I think it's a good idea to receive some therapeutic support to deal with the loss of a baby before trying to conceive again. The mind and body need at least a few months to recover. I hope your daughter-in-law is receiving the support she needs at this sad time 🙏

Hi! Thanks for your question. Firstly, I'm so sorry to hear about your mother-in-law law. That's terrible and must be very hard to cope with. I hope your husband is ok. Also, you have a 2.5 year old which means you are going to be up and about with them. You are dealing with a lot right now. Since I am not a doctor, nor can I diagnose anything, I would always advise getting checked by a medical professional. Bleeding after birth is normal but since you're not getting much rest and recovery time after birth, this could be causing the gushes of blood due to stress and over-exertion. To me, it doesn't sound really really alarming but I know that I bled more when I didn't rest and it took my womb longer to heal after birth because I tried to do too much too soon. I know it's very hard for you to relax at the moment but I would go to the doctor and then try to rest as much as you can if it's possible (when your toddler naps or goes to bed) I would go to bed early if you can at night. 💞 Good luck darling, sending love 💕💖

@@HypnobirthingWithAnja thank you so much for your response! I am going to call my doctor today to make sure all is well, I definitely think it may be over exertion because it does tend to happen after I’ve been up and about more.

Hi @annalt6426 same is happening with me Was that normal?

It's normal to still have light bleeding and spotting 21 days after birth. If you feel well and don't have pain or fever, it sounds like everything is ok 💓

It is quite normal to still experience some bleeding but it should not be heavy. Is your bleeding heavy? Do you feel unwell? If worried, get checked by a doctor to be safe and reassured. To minimize postpartum bleeding, avoiding strenuous activity, heavy lifting and getting rest is important. Also, not having sex until your bleeding has stopped is advised. Are you breastfeeding? If not, you may have gotten your first period after giving birth. This can happen with women who are using formula milk. Thought I would ask 👍💕

Are you breastfeeding? If you are it's unlikely to be your period. It could be a bit of lochia still or just your hormones causing a bit of discharge from your womb. It could be your period if you are formula feeding your baby but always get checked at the doctor's and explain your symptoms if you are worried 💞💓

Thank u for replying..yes dr I'm breastfeeding almost 7-8 times a day & give formula milk once or twice everyday. My bleeding started again on 30th day bight red in color & then stopped on 36th day then got little spot & now just when I was thinking to take proper shower I'm having pinkish watery blood again on 39th day.

Dr this is my first pregnancy & I have a medical issue of having less platelets..

It may be normal so long as you are feeling ok. Do get checked by a doctor if you are concerned. X

I'm not sure. I would go to the doctor to get checked 🌹👍

Hi! Thanks for your question. If you are a breastfeeding mum it's very rare to have a period until you stop breastfeeding. I breastfeed for 16 months and didn't get a period until 17 months after giving birth. I'm not sure what caused your bleeding after 6 weeks. Have you had sex? Sex can cause bleeding if you are not fully recovered from birth. You can also get pregnant while breastfeeding so be careful. Your womb needs to recover for atleast 2-3 months after giving birth (the area where your placenta was has to heal). If you are experiencing cramps and bleeding I would see a doctor to check you are ok and don't have an infection. It may be nothing at all and just your hormones balancing out. But I would also go and see a doctor to get checked for your own health and safety 💖👍

Because I'm not a doctor or a gynaecologist I don't know what the discharge is. I would go and get checked by a doctor if you're worried. 🌹👍💗

Ok thank you

What was it?

Your uterus will be contracting back to its pre- pregnancy size which can cause cramping. It sounds like your bleeding is slowing down. If, however, you are at all concerned, always see a doctor. It personally doesn't sound worrying but if you're worried, definitely ask a doctor. 💞

@@HypnobirthingWithAnja After 3 weeks I started bleeding when it had stopped, it was a lot with clots, i went to the dr and they did a sonogram. Told me everything was fine in there. Eventually it stopped and now at 6 weeks postpartum I'm bleeding agan. Why is it? Im going crazy...

@@wildlovesould I'm not sure. Are you doing too much? Bleeding can get worse if you are not getting enough rest. Are you breastfeeding? If not, it could be your period. I would go to the doctor again if you'd worried. Hope the bleeding stops soon 💞

Hi, it's not your period. Your womb is shrinking and you're bleeding which is a normal part of the postpartum period. Bleeding is heavier if you do too much (exercise, cleaning, heavy lifting etc). The bleeding should stop soon. If you are worried though, I would go to see a doctor especially if you are bleeding a lot and it's not getting lighter 👍💖

@@HypnobirthingWithAnja no it's not heavy.very light bleeding which sometimes watery consistency sometimes like brown colour

@@sofiyapandiyarajan4289 ok that's good to know. It's just the normal postpartum bleeding. If it's light and watery/brown it is usually a sign that your womb is shrinking well and healing as it should. Are you breastfeeding? That can sometimes make the bleeding continue slightly longer because when you breastfeed, your womb muscles contract due to nipple stimulation. Or it could just be your hormones balancing out after giving birth. If the bleeding continues for a long time or you feel unwell, please go to the doctor to get checked ❤️

@@HypnobirthingWithAnja yes I am breastfeeding mam

​@@HypnobirthingWithAnjahi, I am five weeks into my postpartum and I am still bleeding and majorly sometimes it is red and sometimes it is brownish in color. I am breastfeeding only. This is my third baby Neva had these experience with the other kids, so is these lochia or is something wrong

Forgot to add hematoma in couple places is new to me too. :( overall the bleeding seems very fresh after each pump.

@@letitiapark9556 hi! It sounds like your uterus is just contracting and shrinking with the stimulation of the nipples whilst pumping. Bleeding can be sporadic after 2-3 weeks and only occur when pumping or breastfeeding. However, I always recommend seeing your doctor to make sure that everything is definitely ok to be on the safe side 💞

@@HypnobirthingWithAnja update- i had such a bad case of retained placenta lost a lot of blood and had so much huge clots come out at once went to the er. Thank you for your video as it helped my understand all postpartum can be different! This never happened with my first so it was great info!

@@letitiapark9556 is everything ok now? Glad the video helped. 💞

@@HypnobirthingWithAnja yes! I have some bleeding in and off but it isn’t heavy at all. Looks like normal period bleeding after the surgery.

That doesn't sound bad but if you are worried please get checked by a doctor ❣️

Postpartum is considered to be 6-8 weeks but for me it's really the whole time after giving birth. Some people consider postpartum to be years. The bleeding and recovery is meant to be 2 months ❣️

If you're not in pain or struggling with fever or feeling unwell you may just be very lucky and have naturally stopped bleeding ☺️ However, take things easy and look after yourself. The bleeding may start again but it also may not. X

Hi, I would definitely get checked by a doctor as I can't give any medical advice. The headache could be a side effect from the spinal injection she had for the C-section but it could be something else. Go and seek medical attention as soon as possible please 👍💕

It doesn't usually no. It usually stops by 6-8 weeks after birth. I would go and see a doctor to see what's going on. It could be hormonal or maybe your period is trying to start again and that is causing some bleeding. It could be a womb related issue that needs looking at. Please discuss what's happening with a doctor to get a medical opinion. Hope that helps Jesalie🌹👍

It is it you have been over doing it or it may be your period too.

Do you feel unwell? Are you losing alot of blood? If you answered no to these questions, you are probably ok. Bleeding for a few weeks after birth is normal but it's important to go to the hospital if you are bleeding heavily or feel unwell. Also, take things slowly. It's important to look after yourself and not do too much after giving birth because your body needs to recover. 💖
