A member asked:
4 weeks postpartum and haven't had bleeding for about a week. it just started light bleeding again today! i'm nursing full time. what could this be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Uterine involution: That's why it is called the post partum period for 6 to 8 weeks. The uterus is contracting with breastfeeding and causing a small amount of light bleeding.
