Anyone else have random bleeding?

Question

I'm 3 weeks postpartum and the last few days my bleeding really tapered down, to the point of needing just a small-ish liner and the blood was pink. Friday my dogs needed to go outside and I live in MN which got hit with snow that day so I didn't want to drag my 3 week old out with me. Long story short, I ran about a block with the dogs because I was paranoid leaving my baby sleeping in her bassinet alone. The whole thing was about 1-2 minutes but I've been bleeding much heavier today and passing small clots. The blood is also red now.
Did I overdo it or has this randomly happened to anyone else? I'm hoping I didn't cause any damage. I also had a 2nd degree tear.

Answer

Postpartum bleeding can last from 6-8 weeks. It can happen off and on.

Answer

Yay, I live in Minnesota too and I'm getting some serious cabin fever. What I've been doing a lot is going to the mall and walking around for a hour or so. 
If you have a carrier and bundle up your baby really right, I'm sure you could go for a 10-15 minute walk outside.

Answer

If you're bleeding it's your body saying 'slow down, chica!' - coming from experience lol

Answer

that happened to me today ! my blood basically stopped and it was just light brown and mostly just stained discharge. today my boyfriend and i got to have a date without the baby. we live in seattle and we wanted to explore. we walked about like 10 - 15 blocks each way. realistically it's not far but after dinner i went to the bathroom and found more blood. then right when i was getting up i wiped again and a peice of my placenta came out... i am 5 weeks postpartum so i was just like wtf ? but yeah i just think you may have pushed it too hard. which may seems silly cause it was one block of running but i guess try keep it light.

Answer

I had this when I started working out again. Take it easy for a few days, call your Dr if it continues for more than a few days, but you just got your blood going again for the first time in a while so it's likely to happen. Listen to your body, take it easy, but if it starts to clear up I wouldn't be too worried.
