Is this too much? TMI BLOODY PAD PIC!

Question

So I’m 5 days postpartum so I’m not like that worried, I’m just an FTM and have no idea how much blood is too much and if the colors okay 😅. I delivered vaginally and only had two tear lacerations that they stitched. Some days the blood is light and recently it’s started to get heavier but it’s like on and off. There isn’t any bad smell besides blood smell. So is this okay or should I call my doctor?

Answer

That looks great for 5 days pp. i think mine was heavier than that for like 10 days 🥴 its common for the flow to get heavy and lighten on and off. Usually if you’re up on your feet too much and doing too much it will be heavier, which is a sign from your body to take a break and rest!

Answer

For 5 day pp that look completely  normal better than mine lol congratulations  on you sweet litte bundle of joy 💜

Answer

Yes, and also it can stop and start up thru out the 6 weeks. I’m on my 3rd week and already ruined a few panties thinking I was done 😂

Answer

Call your doctor if you bleed through a regular pad every hour for more than two hours or if you pass a clot larger than a golfball!
That looks very normal! Hope this helps. Congrats!

Answer

Normal
