The Truth About Postpartum Bleeding

Wondering what postpartum bleeding should look like? 🤔🩸 Here’s what’s normal—and what’s not:

✔️ Starts bright red & heavy, like a period
✔️ Gradually lightens to pink, brown, then yellow/white over 2-6 weeks
✔️ Can get heavier if you overdo activity—so take it easy, mama! 💕

🚨 What’s NOT normal:
❌ Large clots or soaking a pad in an hour
❌ Foul smell
❌ Sudden bright red bleeding after it’s lightened

These could be signs of excessive bleeding or infection—call your provider if something feels off! 🏥
