my new daughter is 22 days old. she's my third child. i am still bleeding bright red blood- no clots though- but all the info i have read up on says i shouldnt be still bleeding like this and it should have tapered off by now. the bleeding is light to moderate. do you ladies think i should be concerned? with my other two children i think i stopped bleeding around two wks postpartum...

Im trying to rest as much as possible. I dont feel like im doing too much but of course i wish i could rest more. Its hard to rest while trying to take care of the baby and the other 2 kids and my husband works long hrs and doesnt get home until midnight so its just the kids and i all afternoon and evening. I have been trying to put my feet up more. I hope it helps!
