Unusual pp bleeding

Had my second DD 8 weeks ago. Bleeding was normal to start and i had almost finished by about week 2. When out shopping i had a massive gush, thought id peed myself it was so much but when i went to the bathroom it was blood. That was literally it, bleeding faded off over the next few days, thought again it had finished and then another gush and up until now its been very stop start. Ill get to a point where i think its ending and im just wearing a liner, but then i get another big flood of it. Then last night i changed my pad and saw there was just clumps of 'tissue', two big clumps about 3cm x 3cm big each. Anyone else experienced similar?

I have a drs app booked for tomorrow but just wondering if anyone else has gone through the same. With my first i bled for 3 weeks then that was it so this just seems really unusual.

It sounds as if you may have retained part of the placenta - the excess bleeding can be a sign that your body is trying to expel it as your body knows it shouldn't be there. The GP visit tomorrow is a good idea as infection can be a side effect. Hope all goes well.
