    Hi Newhope - again I am sorry for your loss...

    I wouldn't think it's a period but it's possible. Lochia can continue for up to about 6 weeks after birth for some women. The fact that it is heavier and clotty I would just get checked out. Is the discharge offensive? Hve you pain or a fever? If not it's probably okay but - it's best to err on the side of caution and be reviewed by a medical practitioner I think.

    Good luck...

    Hi Newhope, big :hugs: once again Babe.

    Flowerchild has given some really good advice and I really can't add to it. However I thought I might let you know that my first two AF after giving birth to my Angel baby were really heavy, lasted the entire 7 days and were clotty. Totally different to before I fell pregnant.

    I agree with Flowerchild though, can't hurt to get it checked out.

    Take care sweetie.
