I am day 3 PP with very little lochia. Lots of heavy bleeding / clots to start with on day 1, mostly pink day 2, but has faded to almost yellowish with some tinges of pink today. My fundus is still fairly high just under umbilicus and I have been active enough that I would expect to still have at least some red bleeding. Is this abnormal and/or of concern? It seems weird to have the yellowish discharge this soon. I normally take close to the 6w to finish bleeding. Birth was at home, vaginal and uncomplicated but physically traumatic (manual dilation of cervical lip while pushing, delivered posterior...no tears). But I am definitely still tender.

How are things now?
Sounds like it could be normal for you...the only thing that stands out is your fundus being so high still. Usually, if pp flow drops that much, you also have a very low fundus. So--could be normal, but keep an eye out for any new symptoms such as fever, achey/throbbing soreness in uterus, foul odors--any/all of which could mean that you're still holding onto clots or bits of membrane/placenta that need to come out. You may also have a big increase increase in afterpains that brings out anything you've retained (or is trying to), with or without any of the other symptoms.
