question about blood loss after birth?

danni2609 · Feb 10th, 2009, 13:48 PM

I had my Little one early hrs monday morning and already my blood loss has slowed right down to a normal period amount is this ok? May sound silly but i had heavy bleeding for the first week with my other daughter so not sure if its meant to slow down already?

With my first I had a lot of bleeding for a while, but with my second daughter it wasn't near as heavy! So maybe your second time around is different? I wouldn't worry about it.

And congrats!!

My blood loss slowed right down the day after I had Dec, I was losing next to nothing apart from when I was being to active.

Mine used to slow down and then a couple of days later go back to being really heavy again, so don't be surprised if you suddenly get more! I think as long as you're not in pain and there are no obvious signs of infection (smell etc.) there's nothing to worry about - it's different for everyone.

And congratulations! x

I bleed heavily the first week. Then it was to a normal period for a couple of weeks, then very light.
