Bleeding for 53 days

3 replies

EA1 · 14/05/2024 11:28

I gave birth on February 3rd this year to my third child, who was conceived while my second was 6 months old so not much of a gap and not a lot of recovery time in between.
I bled for 5 weeks after child birth, then it stopped for 2 weeks. I then started a period at 7 weeks PP and it hasn’t stopped, it’s been over 50 days. Sometimes it’s really heavy, or light spotting, or brown blood.
I have a doctors appointment on Thursday but just wondered if anyone has experienced similar. Have also had bloods done to check iron as I was on ferratin during pregnancy, they were “Satisfactory”. I’ve been experiencing palpitations too.
Any advice welcome, thanks

@bbqsalt how long did you bleed before you knew? I’ve not had much pain either I assumed that kinda thing wouldn’t go unnoticed
