A member asked:
I am 39 years old and had just delivered my 6th child 3 weeks ago. i have started some heavy bright red bleeding after postpartum bleeding has stopped?

Can be normal: But, i would contact my doctor to be checked. Having intermittent increased bleeding is common, but if it is very heavy, you could have retained some of your placenta.
