Postpartum period
strange blood loss and swimming
Valuna
Hi!
It’s been 8 weeks since I gave birth on Tuesday, and we want to go swimming tomorrow.
But... I'm bleeding again. After the miscarriage, it stopped for a few days, then bled for a few more days (I thought it was my period), then stopped again, and now it's back...
On the internet, it says you can use tampons again after 6 to 8 weeks.
I'm now wondering what I should do: go swimming or not.

Bleeding can indeed last longer. It's often a sign that you're doing too much and should take some extra rest in between. That was the case for me.
I'd maybe hold off on swimming just to be safe.
