Hi everyone,

i gave birth almost 6 weeks ago, and I stopped bleeding last week.. But now, I started bleeding again like 3 days ago.. It's a really dark red color and there are times its bright red.. I would sometimes feel pain on my clitoris c", did anyone had the same experience? Or is this something I have to be concerned of..

Thanks..........

It oculd be your first period. I didn't give birth vaginally so i'm not too sure of the whole pain on the clit thing.

I don't know if that would be your period now or not. Bleeding for 5 weeks is a long time, and then starting up again, so soon. Have you done anything extra strenuous?

I only bled for 3 weeks, and got my first period when he was 11-12 weeks old.

I would go to your doctor, or call a health nurse.

As far as the pain. I delivered naturally, but tore backwards, towards my problem.

Did you tear frontwards? That could be it

I see blood on top of my pads and some in the middle.. Maybe that's probably it... My rectum bleeds whenever I go.. Lol... Which is really painful... Maybe they stitched it too tight that my butthole (sorry) got narrow.. I'll talk to my doctor on my 6th week postpartum check up next week...

Thanks guys :d
