OMG

First period since c-section! Clots the size of golf balls, waking every hour to change saturated pads, can't stand up without feeling like Niagara Falls is happening in my pants!

Not sure how much is too much? Can't remember it being this bad last time . If I went to the doctors/hospital would they even do anything?

BuggerOffDailyMirror I'm glad you got help and are now recovering now although I can relate to what a scary experience it must have been.

BuggerOffDailyMirror · 17/11/2016 12:05

You didn't know about my situation, that's fine, Now you do, so why not make the call?

CaesiumTime · 17/11/2016 12:10

Sorry, you said changing your pad every hour, bleeding like Niagra Falls, golf ball sized clots - those are very worrying symptoms. Please do get help.

"Because, I thought people would just post and say 'yeah, mine was like that'!
And appreciate my funny title :-)"

Your title wasn't even funny. The idea of your husband calling you a "bloody cunt" doesn't amuse me one bit.

I get that you were being lighthearted and you're clearly not worried about your relationship or your health.

So why bother?!

I also think uou need to be checked out, even if it's only with your doctor.

My situation. Was slightly different to the poster with sepsis, as said before I spent a month in hospital all in, but they released me for a couple of days nearly half way through.

I stated bleeding heavily so made an emergency appt with my doctor, she examined me internally and called the maternity hospital whilst I was there, they didn't want to take me back and I still recall her saying " this woman is haemorrhaging what part don't you understand". They took me back. Kept me overnight, told me I was having a period, and sent me home with a letter for my doctor, telling my doctor if she didn't know how to deal with people having a period to speak to them, but not to send me back. They don't examine me once and I felt embarrassed.

Two days later, alone at home with my daughter, by husband was out, I started to hemorrage very badly, I simply knew it was wrong, the clots were apple sized and by the time the emergency doctor got there I was wearing four sanitary towels and siting on a magazine. I was rushed back in.

They put me in a room next to the operating theates, and they were rude to me, said I was back and It was a period, left me with my husband and told me if I passed any more clots to leave the towels on the side with the clots on. They were less than interested or impressed and again I felt embarrassed.

A few mins later my husband had to go find someone for more sanitary towels, as I had soaked through seven and passed three clots. The nurse walked back In with him and said " have you passed that since uou came in??" And then all hell broke loose. She pressed the emergency alarm and ran out shouting " PPH ROOM NINE" pph is apparently post partum hemorrage.

Next thing I knew I was surrounded by doctors, a female one tried to do an internal and she took the speculum out full of blood and said " I can't do it, she's bleeding too heavily" . They they put me on a drip and informed my husband I'd be in at least another week, it was placenta, and I passed it naturally, which I can assure uou is absolutely horrendous so far post partum.

So I think if you are bleeding heavily, at least make an emergency appt with your doctor, as for me, they were far more clued up than the hospital ever was and it was worth the few mins it took to see them.

I think the OP has wildly exaggerated her symptoms for humorous effect and the thread has not at all gone the way she expected. I think pray she is absolutely fine but with a rather heavy period. If her symptoms were anywhere near as bad as she described, she would obviously have seen someone. I think she should ask for this thread to be deleted as it's obviously worried a lot of people. Lesson learned, OP.
Also, I didn't find your title funny either. It would be abuse if your DP called you a bloody cunt.

FrogTime · 17/11/2016 12:41

All my midwives and other HCPs told me that anything bigger than a £2 coin I was to call them immediately when I lost a lot of blood after giving birth.

Even if it's not as serious as the other poster (so glad you're ok buggeroff!!) That doesn't mean it's not serious at all or a cause for concern. At least call the non-emergency line and seek their advice. If they say it's nothing then at least you and us know youre okay.

Stay safe OP

DoItTooJulia · 17/11/2016 12:47

Oh dear.

Op there are a lot of people who are very worried about you. I hunk it would be sensible to at least phone your community midwife or GP for advice. After all, we don't know what's going on and a medic is best placed to decide if you need treatment.

DoItTooJulia · 17/11/2016 12:48

OP has said it has calmed down, let's not keep hounding her.

I know it's on everyone's minds what can happen if major vaginal bleeding goes unchecked. But this doesn't appear to be the case here.

Porkswordcallingdannyboy · 18/11/2016 08:26

Ducky, from what we were told, it did appear to be the case, almost identically so, to the poor lady who nearly died. Hence, the unanimous concern.

abbsisspartacus · 24/11/2016 09:23

Maybe she has passed what was causing the problem? I had an issue like this and then a piece of umbilical cord came out and it was like a tap shut off
