What Causes Reddish Brown Bleeding 3 Weeks Postpartum?
I am almost 3 weeks post partum, with some reddish brown bleeding, more when I am active (cleaning, doing laundry, shopping etc) but I am curious as to if I can have a beer tonight or if it will make the bleeding worse because of it being a blood thinner?

Hi,
I have read your query & understood your concern.
If you were not moving & taking bed rest all these days, Bleeding reddish brown , after 3 weeks of of delivery.. increased on movements .. is less likely to be menstrual.. it's the remaining blood collected in uterus after delivery.
Taking bear should not increase the flow. But if you are breast feeding think twice before you drink. ..as it harms baby growth, also disturbs sleeping patterns of baby.
Thanks.
