The lochia will only be of concern if it suddenly increases in quantity, and contains lots of fresh blood or clots, or if its smell becomes offensive, or if it lasts for more than a heavy period, suggesting an infection.
Every woman bleeds after having a baby. Postnatal discharge, known as lochia, is the way your body discharges leftover blood, mucus, and placental tissue from the uterus. The discharge comes from the site where the placenta was attached to the uterus and it may come out in gushes or flow more evenly, like a normal period. After the initial bleeding slows, and as the healing continues, the flow of lochia will turn from bright red to pink, and eventually to yellow-white.
You may bleed for as little as two to three weeks or as long as six weeks after birth. The flow will taper off very gradually. Red lochia should not persist for more than two weeks, although if you try to do too much too soon, it may start flowing again. If you see bright red blood, it's a sign to slow down.
The lochia consists of fibrinous products, decidual cells, red blood cells and leucocytes. There may also be organisms that are normal bacterial flora of the vaginal tract eg anaerobic streptococci, E. coli, staphylococci and Clostridium welchii. If there is a mixed growth of such organisms then this is not evidence of an infection of the genital tract. The lochia from the uterus is alkaline. As the lochia passes through the vagina it becomes acid and its constituents decompose due to the action of bacterial saprophytes.
Infection is suggested by pyrexia and offensive lochia.
SYNONYMS Postnatal bleeding
SYMPTOMS In normal condition the lochia is primarily blood at first, followed by a more mucousy fluid containing dried blood, and finally a clear-to-yellow discharge.
Call your midwife or doctor if the bleeding:
  • Soaks more than one towel an hour
  • Remains heavy and bright red after the first week
  • Returns to bright red four or more days after birth and does not improve with bedrest
  • Has large blood clots (bigger than a 50p piece)
  • Has a foul smell and you come down with a fever and/or chills.
