Prolonged bleeding after birth!!!

I had the afterbirth bleed for 3 weeks! Then i had  thick yellow tinted discharge? Then I started bleeding a in started off light and got heavier as days went out ... Got stomach pains with it too... It's been nearly 3 weeks now and I'm still bleeding? I was put on northisterone but it hasn't stopped the bleeding???? What's going on....

  • My little girl is 9 weeks old tomorrow and I'm still bleeding! I've bled every single day since having her, some light, some heavy. I've got an appointment with the doctor booked for next Thursday so I'll see what he says. It's really getting me down, I constantly feel dirty and i'm getting 2 showers a day most days 😫 I bled for a while after my first baby too but was never put on anything so just presumed this time was the same. Pretty sure I never bled for this long first time around though x

  • I'm sure your doctor has checked for infection Kimberly but it might be worth going back & getting checked out again... Prolonged bleeding can be perfectly normal but the yellow discharge & stomach pain would be concerning me as it may mean you have an infection. 

    I hope things get sorted out soon for you
