So I’ve just got my period 10 months post postpartum and I am literally going through a pad and tampon nearly every hour. Is it normal for it to be this heavy? There’s not really any clots just a lot of blood.
I’ve barely had any sleep because I keep leaking through both things😫

My first period was heavy but not to where it needed changing every hour. To be on the safe side I’d contact 111 if you’re in the uk, definitely get checked to be on the safe side:) xx

I leaked a lot on my first one, ended up using the maternity pads again. It eased up after 2/3 period x

Ring 111 as that is a lot of bleeding if you’re leaking and changing every hour x
