ok i am almost 4 weeks pp and twice now i have almost completely stopped bleeding and then the next day I will start bleeding heavily again.. anyone had this happen or know why it is happening?

[Dilanasmommy]

I had it happen to me my last c section and the Dr told me I was over doing myself and to take it easy

thats what i figured. :( i cant take it any easier i have 2 other  dd's at home

usually over doing it will cause heavy bleeding but also retained placenta can.

Are you breastfeeding? Do you experience anything other then just the heavy bleeding?

[ajrb913]

I am breastfeeding and no nothing else just it will taper off to just needing a pantyliner and then after a few days it will be heavier. not horrible just more.

Great, sounds to be just normal bleeding due to working too hard. Not that that is great, try to get more rest if you can. New mom's need to be pampered!
