I'm 17 days post partum.
I'm still bleeding red (like a period)
Have any of you other mommies went through this?
This is my 3rd child but I'm getting worried.
Okay thank you all. I was getting scared. Don't remember it all with my other two so wasn't for sure lol.
Of course. Its always scary when we aren't sure. You think as much as we bleed we'd be fine but its totally different once you've delivered lol
mine was almost a month. I was starting to worry but then it stopped.
Yes and slowly started getting darker and less by the fourth. If it increases in amount than contact your doctor but otherwise you should be fine :)
@lilkountryma, Was it still red the first 3 weeks.?
Because I was told it was supposed to get lighter in color but it hasn't.
Breastfeeding caused the uterus to contract (I'm sure you felt that after delivery) and can prolong the bleeding. I bled for 3 weeks after having my daughter and than spotter for another.
oh yea, i had my period for about 6 weeks after, granted it got lighter and lighter but yeah
@snakemom, Yes I breastfeed.
@brittbilson
@jacesterlingsmommy
Thank you both.
Was getting worried about it.
Mine was the same way. I'm 23 days PP now and it's pretty much stopped except for the dark brown stuff like at the end of a period but every now and then I'll still get some bright red bleeding. I looked online and it can be normal unless it's super excessive, painful or passing huge clots. I was worried too. I too was breastfeeding.
Heavy bleeding can last for ten days, then light bleeding can last for up to six weeks after delivery.
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...

My sweet baby girl gained her angel wings this morning. She was my best friend, my true love my everything. She was so happy and beautiful, I'm struggling to say good bye. Sleep tight princess, mummy and daddy love you very very much ❤️
Trigger. Lost baby
Went in for my 20 week check up and found out our son had passed away. Nothing was wrong, my pregnancy has been going great. I'm so numb right now. I'll he delivering him later this week. I don't want to do this. I don't want to do this. Not before Christmas. How am I'm going to tell my kids?? My dear sweet baby boy. Why did this happen?

Is this the one yall drink to induce??? I'm desperate
Having some pretty intense constant lower back pain and maybe super light contractions. But can't tell because the back pain is way over powering contractions so I'm walking around my room to see if they get worse.
Go to the dr please n I hope everything goes well
