Still bleeding 8 months after having a baby

Hello everyone,

I wondered if this was normal.

I gave birth to my little boy 8 months ago. I bled for around 6 weeks after and then it stopped. I had 2 normal periods, went back on the pill with GP approval and then the bleeding started again. I have a few days here and here where it stops but it's pretty constant. I get cramps too. I've mentioned this to my GP twice and she said that this is normal after having a baby? I had a forceps delivery and an episiotomy.

I'm also back to work full time now and it's becoming quite difficult having constant bleeding.

I'm not really sure what to do as I'm scared I'll get fobbed off by the GP again.

Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance!

I really think you need a new GP. Or could you speak to a HV? I certainly didn’t have constant bleeding for months on end after having my daughter.
