I had my second DC by ELCS nearly 10 weeks ago and my first period since started on Friday. It seemed normal initially but since the early hours of this morning has become ridiculously heavy, soaking through a super tampon every 2 hours. My periods before DC2 were pretty light, and I honestly can't remember what the first one after DC1 was like as it's over 4 years ago.
Can anyone tell me if this is normal? I am slightly concerned about the blood loss as I lost nearly 2 litres during the section and my red blood cell count only came back into the normal range about a week ago. If it is still this heavy tomorrow should I try and see someone, do you think?
