this could beTMI sorry

i had ababy about 10 weeks ago.well,since a couple of weeks i've had very heavy discharge.so much that i have to wear a sanitary pad,and sometime itsnot enough...not sure if i should mention it to the gp,postnatal app is in a couple of weeks.
does anyone have a clue on what couldbe causing this?never been like that before.this isn't my first baby btw.and there's no blood just discharge

Are you bf? If not, could it be your periods starting?? Sorry no idea really. Are you still seeing your HV, maybe you could ask her?

baby is ebf.its def no period.im at a loss...

Have you had a 6 wk check? I wouldn't wait for another 2 weeks tbh. Have no idea what could be causing the discharge but if its that heavy I would get it checked out ASAP.

Sorry I don't want to alarm you

Maybe you have an infection, think you should make GP appointment.

I got my periods back straight away. Breastfed.
Sorry :)

I got my period after a couple of weeks too. Also bf.

In 2 weeks time that's what is supposed to be my 6 weeks check,haha.an infection would have some symptom surely??

Petty sure I know a period when I see it plus it took a while to come back after the other DCs.

well you HAVE symptoms- a discharge!

Is this not just the tail end of the lochia that everyone has after giving birth? It can change from bloody to other colours as it starts to stop.

Definitely see your dr and maybe bring your appt forward.

The lochia stopped about 5 weeks ago.hmm,I'll see if there's an app available earlier but doubt it.def not normal then

You might not want to reply to this but the way you tell if a discharge is normal is-
it has no unpleasant smell
it is not coloured
it does not cause itching,burning or soreness
it might necessitate wearing a panty liner but not a pad.

Did you or have you used tampons yet? They could cause infection.

Haven't used tampons in years
Lightly colored requires a pad but its not constant iukwim,more in gushed (that's so imbarassing...)
