dd is now ten weeks old, i had really heavy bleeding post-birth that calmed down after a couple of weeks and disappeared almost completely after 5. Then at 6 weeks i had what i thought was a light period - different bleeding to the lochia and accompanied by period pains. I had exactly the same period type pain again yesterday, accompanied by light bleeding, which would make sense being approx 4 weeks after the first period. However, tonight i have had a really heavy bleed and a largish clot the same as when i was losing the lochia.
I had gone back to using tampons after my six week check showed no probs, do you think this is just a bit of lochia that had failed to come out and was dislodged by a tampon? Should i be concerned / book a docs appt or is this fairly normal? Sorry if TMI but was sure that i shouldn't still be bleeding this long after the birth?
