Bleeding postpartum

I’m 6 weeks postpartum and am still bleeding. The bleeding stopped around week 3 then came back super strong (bleeding through night pads and clothes) on week 4, I was even passing clots as large/thick as a pinky finger. Went to the ER and the ultrasound showed my uterus is clear and looks fine. Bleeding decreased and now on week 6 came heavy again. Did anyone experience the same thing?

Really make sure to not do any lifting, too much running around, unsuitable exercise etc… even if everything looks fine, the wound on the uterus is still a wound and needs time to heal properly 🙏

Yes I went through this, unfortunately BC was the only thing that stopped all that bleeding. Doctors said sometimes it takes awhile for our hormones to balance after child birth. You can suffer through it for months maybe even years before the body gets it right but birth control may help the process. Was on it for like 6/7months. Took awhile but the bleeding stopped everything when back to normal

Hi babe, I went through this I generally thought I was haemorrhaging I panicked so bad & went to a&e . They told me it could be a really heavy period as all of my obs were absolutely normal and there was no obvious signs I was haemorrhaging. She also said it could just be the rest of the uterus shedding its last lining x

I was the same. I bled for around 8 weeks I think. But as someone else suggested I think it was my actual period on the tail end of my postpartum bleeding. X

Would you go to a family party (a big family party) with a one month old?

I also know someone close had a fever this week so I’m thinking not to go, but everyone seems to think I’m being dramatic?

Lowkey worried and need advice please!

So I’m currently 30wks and 5days and a ftm. Today I randomly had diarrhea accompanied by some crazyyy cramps and pain on my mid back that hurt so bad I had to get my husband to come rub it for me as I was pooping😅I had cramps around my whole stomach and butthole. Once I was done, my back still hurt so bad I needed to lay down, but my stomach wasn’t super hard like they say it gets during labor. I’m worried though because I feel baby moving lower and even though she’s been active, she’s been slightly less aggressive w her kicks today. I don’t want to overthink it but I’m starting to. On Mother’s Day, I also had to get an emergency laparoscopy because my left ovary was twisted 3x and the pain was so bad I couldn’t sleep (I went to the er and that’s when they found it). Everything went perfectly fine w the surgery and I’ve been healing great! I have no idea if the 2 are even connected really, but I’m starting to get worried. Has anyone experienced anything like this?
