Doctors and mummies in the house, I am disturbed. I put to bed towards the end of April. The postnatal blood stopped and I was basking in the euphoria of going padless, but to my greatest surprise and I must add dismay, blood started coming out again just after 5 days of break! How I got to know or rather, believe it's menses is that it flows just like my menses used to, unlike the postpartum blood. Pls is this normal?

N/B: This is my second baby, it wasn't like this with my
first baby

Noted!

Yes. Its normal, but very rare.
It depends on the hormonal interplay vis a vis the estrogen, progesterone, LH, FSH, etc.
Ideally, it takes a few months for menses to resume after delivery. But i have seen one or two of these rare cases in the course of my medical practice.
And if you experience that, you will necessarily need to see your doctor for proper evaluation.

Very normal

Infact, the reason u haven't been having it for abt 9months is because u were pregnant.

Doctors and mummies in the house, over to you..

nop its 10,000 bc

Normal. It was same for me with my 2 babies. Before my 6weeks evaluation, i was back to my periods for the two occasions.

Are you nursing?
For most nursing mothers, menstruation is stalled for months sometimes a full year and non nursing mothers will be after some several weeks
Never heard of 5 days
Please go to your OB immediately
This doesn't sound normal
Looks to me like you are hemorrhaging

Go and see a doctor and get checked out please
Nobody can make a diagnosis without examining you

After 5 days ?

She said 5 days break between lochia and her period. Not 5 days after putting to bed.

For me, the first one gave me 6 days break while the 2nd gave me 3 days break but i was ready for it then.

I did exclusive for 4months each time.

Yes I read that
Wow
6 and 3 days

Sounds normal to me. But see your obgyn to clear up any doubts & conserns.

Women should stop coming to NL for health questions. See your doc pls.

Just go and see your doctor to make sure all is well

You know zilch about any medical condition
