PP bleeding question

[MrsAggie]

I'm 5 weeks PP and it transitioned down to EWCM-looking discharge (sorry tmi) and then nothing about 4 or 5 days ago. 2 days ago during W's witching hourS I was walking him around, bouncing, and wearing him while I vacuumed the whole house. I started bleeding after that and google said I overdid it. Well I'm still bleeding heavily and passing clots but not at the hemorrhage level. Does this normally last past 48 hours? I was beginning to wonder if it's a period even though I'm nursing.

Happened to me. I had a couple start stops that lasted a few days.

Technically if you are EBF, any blood before 56 days is considered lochia, so it's not a period. It's entirely possible it's related to too much activity. Take it as easy a possible for 2-3 days and see if it lightens up again.

When is your PPcheck up?

I technically had one last week because it was one week after being discharged from the hospital for postpartum pre-e. Next Thursday is my official 6 week check-up.

Happened to me too. Probably not a period.

Normal. Yes it sounds like you over-did it. My bleeding went in spurts like that until it finally stopped completely around 6-8 weeks.
