6 weeks and still bleeding

BBTNZ · 03-21-2008, 07:23 AM

Is anyone else still bleeding? I am 6 weeks postpartum and am still bleeding red. It's not enough to soak a maxi pad in an hour, but it's still red. It has never tapered off to pink to yellow, etc. I am really tired of bleeding. Any thoughts?

I am 6w 3d days post partum and still bleeding as well. I still have to wear a panty liner. It's dark red/dark brown but has never gotten really light in color although there is not much in a given day.

The wierd thing with mine is it seems to come and go. I think it's gone and then I get some red again. I am planning to call my OB today to check it out.

Just a day or two after posting, my bleeding stopped...finally! I go for my postpartum visit this week. Trying to decide what birth control to get on. I am currently breastfeeding and supplementing with formula. I am only planning to breastfeed until DD is 3 months. I am not able to produce enough milk to keep up with her demand. At least she'll end up with a few months of breastmilk.

I'm 3w 6d post and I find that I bleed more after Kira has a really good feeding session. I barely fill a panty liner in a day but I get a tiny gush every now and then when she eats.
