I’m about to be 3 months PP I got my period last night and today I’ve been having to change my pad every 2 hours cus I’m bleeding like crazy. I feel super weak, my legs feel heavy, I ate and I still feel lightheaded. I also had 3 blood transfusions after my emergency c section bc I lost too much. Idk if that relevant but
Should I go to ER if this continues till night? Everybody keeps telling me that it’s normal to have heavy period after birth and I’ve had my period after I gave birth so this is my second time getting it and it wasn’t this heavy like I’ve been constantly gushing…sorry for tmi

I would no matter what just to be safe

I’d go get checked out just to make sure nothing more serious is going on then just your period, better to be safe

Better to be safe then sorry. If you feel something isn’t right always listen to your body. No harm in going

You should deffo get checked! Hope everyone’s okay 💖

Definitely go get checked better safe than sorry ml 💕

I’ve been on 4 days now, 5 months post c section and I’ve been super heavy too and going though pads every 2 hours (nights pads even thought the day) I’m on day 4 now and it’s slowed down loads. Just keep going hot and cold and very tired. I got intouch with my GP and they said it’s not urgent so they are seeing me on the 12 of may

definitely better safe than sorry u know ur body better than anyone and if u feel off u should go. There is no harm in going

i was the exact same if not worst. got my first period after birth it was completely fine then had another 2 weeks later and bleeding through a super+ tampon within 2 hrs. was like that for 3 days. i’d suggest getting it checked. (i just assumed it was my proper “after birth” period so i didn’t get it checked)

I would go just bc of what you went through but when I got my period for the first time after birth I went through an entire box of ultra tampons.

Heavy bleeding is normal but that frequently I would get it checked. Make sure to let them know your pp and how often your changing it.

Yes go to the Dr
