My bleeding my VBAC has been much lighter than I expected, I had several days, 4-6 days post partum where I had totally clear sanitary pads.
Yesterday I made my first trip out since birth, I walked all round town and I was knackered. I'm really achey (in my legs and groin) and I've been having much heavier bleeding (only like period). Yesterday I was looking in the mirror at my bits and I had a gush of blood down my leg. Just like normal period but dripping down my leg it wasnt very pleasant.
Just now I showered after having been out again earlier and laying flat most of the evening and getting out and looking at my bits in the mirror, blood started pouring again. It dripped all onto the floor and freaked me out. I was reading online that it shouldn't be bright red anymore (8 days pp) and it's worried me. I am worrying myself and I'm really tired and convincing myself I'm really light headed.
I see the midwife again on Mon but I'm just so bummed that this is happening. I know it's probably because I've exerted myself these past couple days but I don't know if this is normal or if I should be cautious. I'm so fed up of worrying about everything :'(
