🩸Lochia🩸
💫📌After giving birth, it’s completely normal to have some bleeding, called lochia. This is your body’s way of shedding extra blood, tissues, and fluids as the uterus heals.
💫📌Types of Lochia:
✅Lochia Rubra (bright red, first 3–4 days) which is normal
✅Lochia Serosa (pinkish/brown, days 4–10) which is normal
✅Lochia Alba (yellow/white, after 10–14 days, up to 6 weeks) which normal
🚨Warning Signs:
😡Bleeding still bright red after 7 days
😡Bleeding heavier than a normal period
👉Foul-smelling discharge or pus might represent possible infection
👉Passing large blood clots
💫📌 NOTE:
👉Avoid inserting fingers or objects into the va**na to remove blood. This can introduce bacteria and germs, causing infections. The body naturally expels lochia there’s no need to “help it out.”
👉Why abstain from s*x:
Your ge****ls are still fragile, and early s*xual activity increases the risk of infection. Let your body fully heal before resuming intimacy.
✨Always monitor your bleeding. If you notice any warning signs, contact your midwife or doctor immediately.
💫📌Your postpartum care matters! Protect your health and your baby.
