After bringing life into the world, your body doesn’t just stop. It bleeds. For days. Sometimes weeks. It’s called lochia. And it’s completely normal. 🩸 It starts off heavy. 🩸 You might see clots. 🩸 Just when you think it’s over, it starts again. 🩸 The color shifts—from red to brown to pink to white—like silent signals of healing. But here’s what hurts most: Everyone’s checking on the baby. No one’s checking on you. This bleeding—it’s not just physical. It’s emotional. Your body is letting go. Recovering. Grieving. Rebuilding. It’s the part no one talks about—but every mom deserves to know. Gentle Care Tips 🧡 Use soft, absorbent maternity pads (not your regular ones). Skip tampons/cups until cleared by your doctor. Change pads often—even if you’re too tired to care. Rest. Your body is whispering—please listen. Stay hydrated. It helps everything flow. If you’ve been through this, tell us what you wish someone had said to you. Let’s make this a space where postpartum isn’t silent.
