Hi all,
I gave birth on 5th May via vaginal delivery. My bleeding stopped around 4/5 weeks and I had what I believe to be a light period around 6 weeks pp. Around 1 week after that period I experienced some bleeding, not much, I literally woke up one morning and noticed some dried blood when going the toilet but didn't think much of it. Now, since last Friday I have been experiencing period like cramping but have yet to have a period. I am supposed to be due on in 2 days time but never experienced cramping over a week before I was due to come on and along with the bleeding I am now a little bit concerned. I spoke with my GP who has referred me for a scan as I explained to them I was anxious over it being something more sinister (cancer). They reassured me and explained that it is likely my body "going back to normal" after giving birth. I have also been experiencing some lower back aching but have put this down to putting my DS in a sling/picking him up and putting him down, as he's not exactly a tiny baby. But having googled (I know) I am now quite concerned.
Has anyone else experienced this or anything similar? I do suffer with anxiety so as you can imagine, while also being 10 weeks pp I am a little bit on edge!
