bleeding off and on?

Question

Is it normal to bleed off and on after having a baby? I’m almost a month postpartum and I stopped bleeding after 2 weeks postpartum. I went to the bathroom today and when I stood up there was a puddle of bright red blood in the toilet and some blood clots. I went  ahead and just put a pad on but is this normal?

Answer

It was normal for me with my first. The bleeding would stop then return, often with large clots. My OB told me not to worry if the clots were smaller than a lemon. The bleeding stopped for good at 6 weeks PP.

Answer

I would call your OB. Not to scare you, but I’ve heard of cases where it meant tissue was stuck
