I gave birth last Friday morning and almost immediately I was surprised to see how little I bled. I passed 2 smaller clots in the shower after birth, and really didn't have that much bleeding at all. I've mentioned this to my midwives a few times and they all say it's good. They've also had a look at my stitches and say they're healing well, but I'm still not convinced this is normal.
I had very little actual blood come out, it's mainly just light pinkish/orangey watery discharge now, but it's only a week after birth. Although I've been using maternity pads I could get away with using regular Always pads because it's really not that heavy.
Does this sound normal? I don't think the discharge smells really horrible or anything, but i don't think it's odourless - is it supposed to be? I had prepared myself for a bloody mess after reading what others have experienced on here, but within a day of the birth I could easily walk around for a short period of time without anything running down my leg.
Does this sound like something i should be concerned about?
