Lochia question

Hi all,

In the birth prep class, they said the lochia would go from red to pink
to yellow to white. Mine went from red to brown, more like a period.
Is this normal? I have my postpartum checkup next week, but I'm too
curious for that. I have no idea how to google this, either.

Thanks, in advance,
Amy

My experience, both times, was the same as yours.

Me too. I always got exited thinking I wouldn't bleed for long.. I'd get the
Brown then after a few days Red again. I always bleed on and off for 6
weeks.

Andrea... only 4 weeks till our Girl is due!

and me!

more mucousy than a period, but basically the same in terms of red, brown
nothing, just over a more extended period of time
