I've read in a couple of places that if you are too active after birth your lochia can ramp up again. Mine is too random to really see a pattern but I am walking up to two hours a day. Is keeping me sane with a nearly three week old. I lost 2.5 litres of blood and had two transfusion units. Oh and am on iron tablets (boo). Wondered if the walking is too much. I'm also doing quite a bit of housework again because it makes me feels bit more in control. I am not sleeping much because of feeding and also can't relax - am planning on speaking to someone re birth trauma as having nightmares.
Anyway, sorry for rambling, but is that not enough relaxing basically?!
