postpartum bleeding

by shami, Jan 27, 2005 12:00AM
I give birth to my child by c/s .i am now in my 11th week postpartum. my postpartum bleeding continued for 42 days, then stopped for 2 days started again.it continued for 14 days. after 5 blood free days it again started and last for 1 week. again after 5 days it started again. i am wondering whether this is common or is it something related to postpartum hemmorhage? my bleeding was normal like a period but its bright red in color.

i know they say it is normal for a breastfeeding mother to bleed off and on for 8-10 weeks.  they also say that you can ovulate and start your regular period within that amount of time.
i'm betting that the bleeding you experienced after the 5 blood free days was you reg period.
if you are concerned about it i would call your ob and let them know, they can ease your mind for sure.
