How long since you had bubs?

[skybie]

nearly 7 weeks ago zap.
I have an app with my GP on tuesday so will check then, might take my iron tabs to be safe hey? feeling very tired and weak because of it. just want it to slow down!!

[Party-of-five]

I was very heavy after the girls, hope it eases up for you soon

Hun, it could be because you haven't been BFing to help your uterus contract back down as you normally would after a baby (I'm so sorry I have to say that ) it is a bit of a worry that you are bleeding so heavily, and I'd be worried that your iron levels might be lower than they should be too. or it is possible that you have a little bit of retained placenta in there and that could be making you bleed heavier too. If at any point you think it is *too* heavy or you start to not feel well, I'd give the hospital a call

At around 6 weeks I had heavy bleeding again but it wasn't AF, I would keep your eye on it and maybe talk to a MW?
Like Trillian said, give the hospital a call just in case.

I hope it eases up for you very soon.

Hun, get it checked out - it sounds VERY heavy. After DD I went back to the hosp as my bleeding had all but stopped then suddenly started again and was heavier and also had cramping - It turned out it was a bit of retained placenta, I ended up passing it in clots, but they were talking of doing a D&C. I really hope it settles down for you soon hun xoxox

Hey Skybie

Yeah, mine were very heavy after DD and seemed to get heavier as months went by. I was a 4 day light period before DD and until this month 10 days and ridiculously heavy (like you are describing) I mean wtf where does it all come from. Iron tablets acant hurt, Im anaemic (sp?) now from such heavy periods.

I hope it settles down for you soon, precious xxx
