    Still bleeding?

    I am now almost 7wks post baby and still bleeding. It's only a little bit, but enough for me to have to wear a panty liner. Is this normal? I have my 6wks check on monday, but htought I'd ask now.

    I'm no expert but from my understanding you ' could ' spot up to 6wks weeks

    I had a heavy bleed for a few days then like a light bleed for about 2wks.

    If you don't want to wait for your Mon appt, I would ring the receptionist at your medical clinic & mention if you could speak with your GP or another GP there that is available to speak to you ... I have done something like this a couple of times & I find if the receptionist thinks it sounds important OR you sound very concerned they will go to an effort to get a GP to speak to you at some point of the day you have rung .... OR ring a FREE 24hr service called Nurse On Call - 1300 60 60 24 (they are very friendly & helpful)

    It can be. I had lochia about 9 weeks pp with DS.
    If it smells at all it could be an infection, but if not you should be ok.
