Bleeding
Hi guys I’m looking for a bit of advice
I’m 5 and half weeks postpartum I’m a first time mum so all this is so new to me( vaginal delivery) so I’ve been bleeding and still bleeding I know it’s normal to stop bleeding and start again apparently? This scared me at first but have found out it’s normal I thought the bleeding had stopped so I had sex a couple of times but the bleeding came back I also have some period type pain in my lower belly and back on and off I wouldn’t say the bleeding is HEAVIER it’s just come back like stopped and started I’m such an anxious person and keep thinking what if I’ve done something what if something is seriously wrong with me I keep thinking I’m dying cause of bit of pain I’ve got with it I’m constantly checking my tempature to make sure I don’t have an infection I’m just so anxious postpartum and scared and looking for some advice from other mamas has anyone else experienced this?
Thankyou for taking time to read and reply if you do x

Completely normal to stop and then start again but definitely check with your GP if it seems off. Could it be you have gotten your period again? This happened to me last time and it came back super quick despite exclusively breastfeeding.
I gave birth on the 11th September and I’m still bleeding, it’s much lighter than it was but still need a pad

I gave birth 10th September and only just stopped bleeding I think for the moment. It was heavy at first, then it kept slowing down to stopping but then it would start up again but light bleeding. Few weeks it’s been light bleeding and I think I’ve stopped but I’ve kept a pad there instead I start up again! I don’t know if my postpartum bleeding finished then I had a period straight after, I don’t know? I don’t remember what it was like with my first born as that was 6 years ago. Today I woke up to do the 5am feed with period like pains in my belly 😩
