I'm 12 days in, and it comes and goes. It seems to stop, but whenever I go for a walk (walked from car to inside ped's office), it starts picking up more heavily with clots. I asked my midwife about it on Tuesday, and she said its normal. Just wanted to see other's recent experiences! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-bleeding-2#post-1565143 Sat, 12 Apr 2014 19:49:31 +0000 anonysquire 1565143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine was totally gone the first week pp and so far at 5w pp it hasn't come back. Oh and I've been my normal active self pp. wedding the day after birth, church 3 days pp, and shopping everyday since birth. So I'm going say that my bleeding wast affected by my activity. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-bleeding-2#post-1564911 Sat, 12 Apr 2014 15:13:46 +0000 lamariniere 1564911@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It lasted about 4 weeks for both of my pregnancies and it was fairly heavy the first 3 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-bleeding-2#post-1564765 Sat, 12 Apr 2014 12:09:42 +0000 luckypenny 1564765@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At day 4 I'm wearing regular pads. Bleeding only picks up if I moving a lot but still wouldn't need more than regular pad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-bleeding-2#post-1564716 Sat, 12 Apr 2014 10:52:57 +0000 AmandaB8 1564716@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bled heavily for 5-7 days, then was in regular pads for 2 weeks. At 3 weeks, I was just in panty liners - for spotting and the peeing when I coughed. I was able to stop completely at 5 weeks or so. </p> <p>Though, I still have some issues with the peeing (just a little now!) and I'm 12 weeks pp :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-bleeding-2#post-1564688 Sat, 12 Apr 2014 10:00:28 +0000 fussygal 1564688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 14 days PP and I've been in regular pads since about 5 days PP. The first few days were heavy and bright red, then it tapered off. Some days it's a bit heavier than others but totally manageable with a regular pad at this point. Hope it tapers off quickly for you!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-bleeding-2#post-1564674 Sat, 12 Apr 2014 09:45:49 +0000 Charm54 1564674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want to say it was pretty steady until week 2, then from weeks 2-4 it was on and off . After a month it was pretty much done! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-bleeding-2#post-1564671 Sat, 12 Apr 2014 09:43:27 +0000 bookwormmama 1564671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm almost 4 weeks PP and it's really starting to taper off. Mine was heavy in the hospital but was much lighter by the time I went home (72 hours after birth). </p> <p>I had 2 separate days this past week with no bleeding, but then I would need to wear a pad the next day. It's still very light though. I'm guessing I'll be done soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-bleeding-2#post-1564618 Sat, 12 Apr 2014 08:53:25 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1564618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LovelyPlum: Mine lasted for about 4-6 weeks, but I was wearing regular pads by day 3 or 4. Didn't need the whole stash of JUMBO ones I bought in prep. Oh...and isn't the peeing yourself the worst? Hopefully that stops soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-bleeding-2#post-1564554 Sat, 12 Apr 2014 07:47:29 +0000 LovelyPlum 1564554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jill_a55: gotcha. Right now, my bigger issue than bleeding is that I keep coughing, and when I cough, I pee-a lot. So I've been gong through pads at an alarming rate because of that. Guess I should keep the options open, though. I hope yours stops soon!</p> <p>@bushelandapeck: thanks. The ARE-I hate it when they stick to me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-bleeding-2#post-1564547 Sat, 12 Apr 2014 07:43:07 +0000 jill_a55 1564547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LovelyPlum: mine has gone back and forth, it was really light for a few days and I thought I could do reg. pads, but then it went back to heavy. I have a few different levels of pads that I use. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-bleeding-2#post-1564530 Sat, 12 Apr 2014 07:28:00 +0000 lilteacherbee 1564530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine finally ended at 6 weeks. It would taper off during the first few weeks and I'd think it would be gone, but nope, it would come back. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-bleeding-2#post-1564479 Sat, 12 Apr 2014 06:39:46 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1564479@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jill_a55: I was 6-8 weeks of bleedingn. It would come and go. Not fun. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-bleeding-2#post-1564463 Sat, 12 Apr 2014 06:20:55 +0000 bushelandapeck 1564463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LovelyPlum: fx for you! Those giant ones are the worst! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-bleeding-2#post-1564446 Sat, 12 Apr 2014 05:43:37 +0000 LovelyPlum 1564446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bushelandapeck: okay! Unless something dramatic happens, I think I will be in regular pads soon, too (knock on wood) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-bleeding-2#post-1564442 Sat, 12 Apr 2014 05:35:42 +0000 bushelandapeck 1564442@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it was around 4-5 weeks for me to completely stop wearing liners or anything. I remember it being pretty heavy for the first few days and then only if I did too much that day. Otherwise, I was able to use the regular pads by 4-5days pp. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-bleeding-2#post-1564438 Sat, 12 Apr 2014 05:32:37 +0000 LovelyPlum 1564438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Question for you ladies-was it heavy the whole time? I thought it would be, but mine was only heavy so far for a day. I'm 48 hours PP, and it is way more pink than I thought it would be. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-bleeding-2#post-1564417 Sat, 12 Apr 2014 04:29:22 +0000 MrsRcCar 1564417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>6 weeks on the nose it stopped. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-bleeding-2#post-1564405 Sat, 12 Apr 2014 03:01:42 +0000 artsyfartsy 1564405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 6 weeks I was finally able to stop wearing a pad. I still have some discharge occasionally when I wipe but it's safe to say it has stopped!</p> <p>During the first few weeks any time I was especially active, I bled so heavily the following day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-bleeding-2#post-1564396 Sat, 12 Apr 2014 02:50:45 +0000 Dandelion 1564396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>12 days and still going. I'm hoping to be done soon too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-bleeding-2#post-1564392 Sat, 12 Apr 2014 02:44:29 +0000 Bao 1564392@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Came and went for 4 weeks </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-bleeding-2#post-1564377 Sat, 12 Apr 2014 01:32:46 +0000 googly-eyes 1564377@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It kind of came and went. Mine lasted at least 8 weeks, and my doctor said that was normal. Anything above 12 weeks was what she said she would be concerned about. She said there is just a wide range for that and it doesn't necessarily mean there's anything wrong. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-bleeding-2#post-1564375 Sat, 12 Apr 2014 01:29:17 +0000 jill_a55 1564375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How long did it last for you? Were you very active in the first couple weeks and do you think that had much to do with it? </p> <p>I am 12 days PP today and am still bleeding quite a bit. I think it's because I was doing a lot today but kind of thought it would taper off by now. </p>
