My postpartum bleeding ended around 3 weeks after birth. Had dwindled away to pretty much nothing a week before that. Was thoroughly enjoying not having any more bleeding. And then a week later (4 weeks after birth), I have bleeding again.
It is pink/red and was quite soft yesterday, bit heavier again today. Not super heavy but feels like a normal period for me. Saw a doctor about it today, and because I am having no pains or other symptoms, they aren't worried. But again, they dont think its my period as I am exclusively breastfeeding so should return for 3 - 6 months.
What were your experiences? Did your bleeding start and stop? How soon did your period return??
