The postpartum flow is a wound secretion from the placenta site. It serves to clean the wound area on the inner wall of the uterus, which heals after birth. The wound area gets closed and new tissue is formed - the uterine mucosa. Initially, the postpartum flow consists of blood, cervical mucus and bacteria. Normally, it lasts for 4-6 weeks, but every woman has different experiences. At first, you experience a quite heavy red bleeding, which changes into a bloody-watery consistency. Later, the flow is reddish-brownish, then yellowish, and towards the end white to clear, until it (finally!) comes to an end.

Caution: You should NEVER use tampons for postpartum. If a tampon is inserted for more than three hours, lots of bacteria can build up at the cervix, which can be a breeding ground for infections. MyClarella organic postpartum pads are free of plastic, perfumes, super absorbents, bleached cotton & totally chlorine free (TCF), providing a safe postpartum protection.
