Ladies, after giving birth, the lochia turned orange and slimy after a week, which is normal. A week later, they were still orange. Then they stopped for a day, didn't smear, and now it's like a menstrual period, blood not heavy, moderate. Is this normal? ? It's been like this for 2 days now. With my first childbirth, I remember it was different, it lasted two weeks with clots, then two weeks orange, then two weeks of smearing and then it ended. But this time it's unclear.

Every woman and every pregnancy is unique, and the body's response after childbirth can vary. Orange discharge after childbirth can be normal, as it may be related to remnants of the placenta or other uterine tissues. However, if the discharge becomes bloody and resembles menstrual bleeding, it could be a sign of postpartum hemorrhage, which requires medical attention. It is recommended to consult a doctor for an evaluation of your condition.

Such discharges can last up to 40 days. They vary. Pay attention to how you feel and any pain. The main thing is that there should be no bleeding.

I had an episiotomy and internal stitches—it took almost 2 months to heal. Sometimes it was more intense, sometimes less. Everyone's experience is different)

Lochia is generally a strange thing; they keep coming, then it seems like they've stopped, and then they start again. It varies from person to person.

I am experiencing the same thing right now, but I have mucous orange discharge that comes and goes, stopping for a day or two at a time. The main thing is that there is no pain.

Гуля, "Well, there's nothing else, nothing is bothering me. It's just strange that instead of the mucus that was there after the first childbirth, now there is blood, just like during a period ?"
