Dd is now 7 weeks, labour was completely normal with no tears or anything requiring intervention. First few weeks also normal in terms of bleeding- heavy at first and then died down. Hasnt gone away but has been light. Am no longer breastfeeding and havent been for.about 2 weeks or so now. In that time I've had what seemed like 2 "periods" where bleeding would suddenly get a bit heavier for a few days and then die down- the last time was over a week ago.
Then 3 days ago was watching tv when suddenly had very strong stomach cramps and period pain and felt like I was bleeding- went to check and there was a lot of blood and blood down my leg from pulling pants down. Eased off after about an hour. Last night also had cramps and bleeding was a bit stronger and tonight then same and bleeding seems heavier too. Put a pad on about 20 mins ago and it needs to be changed again.
Is this normal or do I need to see someone? I dont want to trundle up to see GP to be told I'm just on my period but at the same time....
Annoyingly have had my 6 week check so cant ask then
