Five Months Post Partum Period Hell

Sorry for tmi! Here goes...

Gave birth by emergency section nearly five months ago.

Had light two day period after 15 weeks.

Have been having a really heavy period, which will have lasted 4 weeks on Monday.

Having to use night time tenas cos pads don't last more than an hour. Getting through 5 a day. About 10 inches two inch clots whenever I go loo. No horrendous cramping but am worries about anaemia as I am prone to it. Blood still deep bright red.

Read NHS and other health pages that some women do experience heavier periods after birth (didn't first time around) but surely it's not normal for this long?

Any advice or to hear from someone who had similar appreciated x

That should read I have at least 10 clots, one to two inches in length in the bowl when I go for a wee.
