I noticed yesterday that my bleeding has increased after REALLY slowing down... my sis suggested it was from Raeghan cluster feeding (already!) 2 nights in a row. Could that do it?

has your activity increased? i had that happen but only because i was doing more than the week before. it slowed & stopped after a couple of days.

Mine continues only if I am not resting enough or if I am stressed!!

Never heard anything about breastfeeding/beeding relationship.

Well since your uterus contracts when you nurse, it would make sense, kwim? I haven't really increased my activity. Guess I'll ask my MW.

i second the above people saying activity increases it...but i'd just watch and talk to your MW to make sure.
