Postpartum bleeding
Is it normal to get gushes of bright red blood with smaller dark clots about 2 weeks postpartum? My bleeding for the most part has been minimal and tapering off here and there, but the last few days I get a few hours were the bleeding picks up and I can feel it gush out a bit. I haven’t been too active, maybe a 30 minute walk here and there. I have no vaginal pain and I’m pretty sure the few stitches I had have dissolved and healed. Just want to make sure this random bright red blood is normal because I read these terrible stories about women hemorrhaging weeks after birth. I’m not soaking a pad either, and no fever.
