Sorry this is my first post on mumsnet hope I'm in the right place just desperate to find some help and advice! Since giving birth I'm absolutely utterly terrified that I'm going to hemorrhage or something. My bleeding stopped completly 5 days after birth last week. Then I started getting bad period Type pains so after 3 days of no bleeding I went to the doctors yesterday who prescribed me antibiotics incase it's an infection. When I got home I started bleeding again but the pains continued. I went to the midwife today who said even a blood clot the size im of her little finger nail could cause a kind of blockage and once passed would start bleeding again. So I get home and the bleeding has completly stopped again not even a stain on the toilet tissue. Now I'm terrified I have another clot but even though the midwife has said not to worry unless its big clots I can't stop worrying think king I'm going to die or suddenly pass out whilst holding my baby. I feel ridiculous for bothering my midwives all the time I feel like they are talking about me calling me "the attention seeker" or annoying cow or something. DH keeps saying I need to stop panicking and relax because I'm not enjoying the early days of our baby and my sister says I need to stop worrying about every little thing but I can't help it. I hate not having control over my body or knowing whether there's some horrible infection eating away at my uterus. Sorry for the long post :(
