Is it possible?

Question

Is it possible to bleed from child birth, stop one day then start your period the day after that? I’ve been bleeding for 4 weeks and like 3 days then it started to stop and I didn’t need a pad for one day. Then the next day I started bleeding heavier with darker blood, looks more like period blood. Just looking for some advice. This is my first time so I don’t know what to expect.

Answer

I was done with lochia at 4.5 weeks and started my period at 5.5 weeks. My doc asked if I had had my period yet by my 6 week checkup, I was able to confirm with him that was that. 
I think it'd be possible? Mine was a week apart from pp bleeding for babe #1.
Unless you've been really active? I would start bleeding again after almost being done while pp with my second because I was overdoing it. I felt great! But still, you've got to take it easy. I wish my partner would have understood, so I'd save like 4 weeks of bleeding. Dudes should help. Yes, you're the mom, but we've also just given birth 🤷🏻‍♀️ anyways, I guess I'm that girl venting here too, lol sorry. I hope you have a supportive partner. Just try to take it easy and it might taper off (less days than if it was a period), but it very well could be imo.

Answer

I was told anything up to 6weeks is still pp bleeding and anything after would be a period. Are you over doing it? Or over exerting yourself? That can make you bleed again or bleed heavier

Answer

It could be either, the only way to know is to wait until when then next one would be due based on that. If you have a period it was probably a period, if not then just continued pp bleeding

Answer

I stopped for a whole week (3-4weeks PP), then started bleeding again, heavier than when I got home from the hospital. I just stopped bleeding today after 2 more weeks. I don’t think it was my period because I’m only 6 weeks PP as of Saturday, so it may just be more postpartum bleeding
