Overdoing it postpartum?

Question

What would you guys consider overdoing it within the first week or two of delivery? I have felt great this time around.. had 2nd degree tears but haven’t had any pain. I’ve been going about my life as usual.. carrying my toddler around, carrying things up/down stairs, cleaning, cooking, going to the park, going on walks.. I don’t feel pain, but I have noticed a bit more bleeding today.. do you think this is a sign I’m overdoing it, or do you think that’s just normal postpartum recovery?

Answer

Yes, you are over doing it, you’re body is letting you know by bleeding more. I know it’s hard, but please take it easy, you could cause serious harm to your body.

Answer

This happened to me the second time around too. With my son, the bleeding lasted no more than a week. Now with my daughter, it lasted me about 8 weeks, and even then it would get darker if I did more around the house. I had to learn to let my husband do more than the usual.

Answer

Yes that would be a major sign that you are over doing it.

Answer

I’ve been moving into a new house at one week postpartum and having to lift up my toddlers, move heavy boxes, unpack and clean. My bleeding has been heavy some days and my back is struggling. I know I’m over doing it but I’m trying to get our new house in order before my husband has to go back to work. This wasn’t our plan but we lost our home to Hurricane Sally when I was 9 months pregnant so we were left with no choice.
