bleeding
Hi all,
Argh, I'm still bleeding very heavily. I'm 4 weeks post natal... I have been to docs twice about it n they have said that if it hasn't settled down by 6 week check that they will send me for another scan to see what's going on. They also told me that I'm a couple of week behind normal recovery because of all the issues we had. It's just bloody awful. 2 nights ago I woke at 1.30am soaked in blood, I also lost a big clot. Today I have soaked 4 pads! I'm always worried when out n about incase I leak. Yuk! Is anyone else still bleeding ? When i was in.hospital (the second time) I had scan n there was a small bit of retained product. It.was too small to do anything about but I'm just worried they missed something...

Thanks for your replies. I was at the doctors a week past friday about it. The doc said that they expect me to be 3-4 weeks behind in recovery terms as I had alot of complications. I was re-admitted with group a abd b strep and the infection had a good hold. It took a heap of antibiotics to start to bring my temp down. Anyway... I had a big bleed over night wednesday last week where I was soaked through and we had to change the bed covers and duvet as I had bled onto them! I went to the docs on thurs and the doc told me again that I need to wait a little longer. I do trust them. Since I first posted this the bleeding has started to get less so fingers crossed. If it starts to get heavier again Ill go back.
I went for my 6 week check yestaday and told the doctor I was bleeding heavily, (it stopped after 5 weeks but started again at 6 weeeks) I am soaking through loads of pads it really scared me, he gave me some tablets to slow it down, I only took 2 and today the bleeding stopped?? im confused
doctor said to me why are you so worried?? :roll: im sure i had a right to worry didnt i??
anyway hope your ok x
I think u should question why u r still bleeding heavily and try get blood count done to check ur not getting anemic. I'm not convinced medication is the answer but then I'm not a doctor... could u mention it to ur hv n see what they say?
Its bloody horrible ain't it. I'm always worried I'm going to leak onto ny trousers....
Hope it all settles for u.
