I had significantly increased bleeding for 24+ hours every time I pushed myself (by which i mean, did 2 flights of stairs rather than 1) for 8 weeks. And I also stopped bleeding mostly at 6 weeks but then bled on/off until 10 weeks. PP bleeding blows. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-bleeding-question-1#post-2132962 Sat, 04 Apr 2015 18:35:47 +0000 blackbird 2132962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started working out six weeks PP and was wearing a liner to the gym because I would spot or have clear fluid secretions. It went away after a few more weeks. Gross, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-bleeding-question-1#post-2132875 Sat, 04 Apr 2015 15:47:18 +0000 Ash 2132875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsTal: I'd definitely take it easy. Sounds to me like it's still PP bleeding. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-bleeding-question-1#post-2132859 Sat, 04 Apr 2015 15:21:59 +0000 MrsTal 2132859@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ash: The bleeding is more like spotting with the occasional light flow happening now and then. It does seem to taper off with rest.</p> <p>@Mrs. Lion: I definitely think I overdid it, I just kind of got into the groove and didn't want to stop. I felt it hard the next day, I just didn't think that it would bring back the bleeding.</p> <p>@LAZB: I saw that too, I'm still under that window so maybe there is hope it's just PP bleeding still.</p> <p>@BeachMama: I think that's the plan, maybe just stick to the yoga and walking for a few weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-bleeding-question-1#post-2132838 Sat, 04 Apr 2015 14:14:51 +0000 LAZB 2132838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm now 8 weeks pp, stopped bleeding at 6 weeks and started spotting again at7 weeks, but hopefully done now. I was wondering the same thing as you, and in my limited Google research I found that the World Health Organization considers any bleeding past 56 days (I think) menstruation. That said, I still think it sounds like you maybe overdid it yesterday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-bleeding-question-1#post-2132817 Sat, 04 Apr 2015 13:47:09 +0000 BeachMama 2132817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That sounds like a lot of activity to start with. Id take it easy for the next few days then start back with light exercise and build up from there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-bleeding-question-1#post-2132808 Sat, 04 Apr 2015 13:31:52 +0000 Mrs. Lion 2132808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got the ok this week too but my doctor said to start with no more than 20 minutes per day and build back up. That may have been too much to start? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-bleeding-question-1#post-2132805 Sat, 04 Apr 2015 13:25:34 +0000 Ash 2132805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It sounds to me like you overdid yourself. Has the bleeding tapered at all? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-bleeding-question-1#post-2132798 Sat, 04 Apr 2015 13:10:07 +0000 FaithFertility 2132798@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It might be :/ but I'd just watch for heavy/clotting bleeding </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-bleeding-question-1#post-2132797 Sat, 04 Apr 2015 13:08:56 +0000 MrsTal 2132797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 7 weeks postpartum and got the go ahead from my doctor to resume all activities last week. Wednesday i decided to start working out, did some yoga and light weight lifting then decided to do a brief HIIT workout, then later that day I went for a fairly long walk. The next day I started bleeding (my pp bleeding stopped at 4.5 weeks), I thought it was just from overdoing it the day before but I'm still bleeding today, could this be my period returning (please say no)? I'm EBF but little guy has been sleeping for fairly long stretches at night lately. </p>
