PP bleeding

I'm 10 days pp and my bleeding had stopped and I was getting light yellow discharge. However last night I wiped a little too hard and had a gush of blood come out and really heavy bleeding. I had some stitches post birth which I thought had dissolved but now worried I've opened them. Since last night the bleeding did reduce a little however around 6pm today the heavy bleeding returned, to the point I can feel it coming out and pads pretty full. Also some discomfort down there. Is this normal? I have spoken to triage who said normal, but it doesn't feel right to me for the bleeding to come back so heavily. Any help or advice would be appreciated

Bleeding comes and goes for weeks, I had this with my first LO. However if the heaviness doesn’t slow, I’d call your midwife in the morning who was doing your home visits?

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

Induction or c section?

As a last resort, would you rather be induced or have a planned c section?

Really not liking the thought of being induced from people’s experiences I’ve read!

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Has anyone ever had pain in the bone at the bottom of the lady area?

How I can only describe it is I feel like I have a fracture or the bone is broken right at the bottom of my vagina bone obviously don’t think it’s to the extent but that’s how it feels. I had it in my last pregnancy and the pain went few months postpartum now it’s back again with this pregnancy. These are the results that u e googled I think I may have the first one has anyone every had this or something similar

Homebirth?

I am thinking I want a homebirth (second baby) for a few different reasons but my husband is very against it, he is worried about things going wrong and we are a 30 minute drive from the hospital. Has anyone been in a similar position and what did you end up doing? Any advice? 🙏
