Post-birth bleeding
Can those have you who've had your babies please help?
How long did you bleed after your baby was born?
Claudia is three weeks old today and my bleeding hasn't stopped yet. I really can't remember how long it lasted after my first baby was born. This time I had a few problems with the third stage - the cord snapped when they were trying to get the placenta out. I had to push it out myself, which was a total nightmare. At one point I thought they were going to transfer me to hospital. Afterwards though, I felt ok and thought I was recovering well, until Claudia was one week old when I started losing huge clots and what was clearly chunks of the placenta. I've had a course of antibiotics and am feeling much better now, but my bleeding is all over the place. Sometimes it seems to have pretty much stopped, then all of a sudden it will come back heavily. And in the last couple of days its has become heavy and very red again. Sorry if TMI!
Can anyone offer a word of wisdom or two???
