    Thanks guys, I guess I will just wait it out and see what my GP says next week. I am fully BF now but was doing half FF and half EBM from week2 till week 4, so I don't know if that has anything to do with it. It is just the "gushing" feeling that is worrying me a bit.... Thanks again.

    I think you should seek medical advice, whether you ring the hospital u had baby at or get an earlier drs appt.

    The gushes dont sound right and that things look "membraney".

    I had DS 4 wks ago yesterday and i stopped bleeding yesterday, the last 5 days of my bleeding has been my period too.

    I have experienced the stop start that u mentioned, with previous babies but none have every gushed or gone on as long as yours has. Its just been light flow that started up again.

    The mw said to me if clotty stuff comes off on the toilet paper to rub it between the toilet paper and if it spreads its a clot but if it stays clumpy and looks like tissue then its probably membranes and you need to get seen too.
