i went to my dr today for similar issues my bleeding had slowed but then i started having bright red blood again with clots. she put me on antis, took a swab and im off for an ultrasound tomorrow. I had a second degree tear this time and an episiotmy (Sp) last time and in that respect i have healed much quicker this time. but im sure i didn't bleed as heavy for this long last time. I definately mention it to your dr just to be on the safe side. Dr also told me to try and get a bit more rest so hopefully you can try this too. take care xxx
