This lochia stuff is starting to confuse me and I'm starting to wonder if its something to worry about or what. I gave birth to my son 17 days ago ( via c-section). The blood flow started at a dark red, stayed dark red for about 4 days, went to a bright red, for about another 4 days, then to brown for 3 days. Then it totally stopped for 2 days, then went back to a bright red for 2 days, and the last few days pink/brown. After those 2 days of stopping, and then returning again, the flow has been very light, almost nothing. Is the stopping and starting again thing normal? I know on avg. it lasts 4-6 weeks, but varies from person to person. Could the pause be the stop of the Lochia and a start of an actual period? Has anyone else experienced this?
