Some bleeding from the vagina is normal after you've had a baby
Things to know:
- Bright red bleeding generally lasts three to four days, but may
last up to two weeks
- The bright red bleeding slowly changes to dark red, then yellow
and then to white
- You may have a whitish discharge for two to six weeks
- Wear a sanitary pad, not a tampon
- Do not douche
If you have any discharge with a bad odor or which itches or has a burning
feeling, contact your healthcare provider.
