postpartum bleeding question.... (very TMI)

I'M sorry for all the questions lately but I have one more. I went to my OB today and totally forgot to ask him...

I am 3 weeks postpartum on Thursday and I am still bleeding a bit... As some may remember last Wed DH and I had intercourse because my bleeding had completely stopped and I was feeling great... Once we did that my bleeding started once agian.... I am still bleeding a little espically when I wipe (tmi) and a little on the pad and it is bright red when I wipe but more brown when on the pad...  I am also still passing little bitty clots when I use the restroom... I guess I Am wandering if that sounds about normal? I dont have any cramping or pain and no feaver so I dont think infections espically a week past BD with husband! I am just so frustrated and ready for it to stop so DH and I can have a little fun agian!

I did the same thing, I stopped for three days and started again four times for a total of 11 weeks of bleeding after Aubryana (#2). I hope you don't have to deal with it as long as I did!

oh yes, that is normal...with my last(#3) I stopped bleeding pretty soon after, but started back a few days later...And like you, I spotted and passed a few minor clots...it is normal...if your OB would have noticed anything not so normal, they would have told you...

I am sure you are fine hun
