Sorry if this is TMI...
So, I was in at least the second stage of Lochia this morning. Overnight, I only had a teeny bit of tannish/yellowish stuff in my pad, which has really been going on sense 4 days PP or so. It's not 8 days PP. Well, I got in the shower, and while cleaning myself, I noticed I started bleeding again. My pad now has bright red blood again, and it's definately coming from inside. I've read that this can happen if you do too much, but I don't think I have. And I also read that if the redness returns to call your midwife. So I don't know what to do or what to think. Any thoughts?

Mine came and went for weeks. If you are otherwise feeling ok I wouldn't worry about it (of course I am no expert here - I'm sure calling your midwife wouldn't hurt anyone :)).

I am almost 4 weeks pp and mine comes and goes. I had a midwife appt Friday for cramping and she said everything looks totally fine so I am guessing its normal. A call could never hurt though.

Yeah, doing too much is usually what that means, even if you do not think you have been. A little more resting would not hurt, so try relaxing a little more to see if it goes away. And calling will never hurt.

watch flow carefully, if no odour, should be ok, if still bright red, call midwife, we had issues after last baby, 2 weeks postpartum our DR did ultrasound, we had placenta left, so hope not your case,

take care and take note if any cramps, flow change, feeling ill or fever for sure.
call midwife right away if concerns.

It is very normal for it to come and go, especially only 1 week pp. If it develops an odor or you develop a temperature, call your mw or go to the er.

Mine did the same. I still don't have a regular AF. I'm almost 2 weeks late this time!!!
