    yes, I was 8 or 9 weeks with the first two babies and it drives you nuts! WIth number 3, I did have some retained product and had a pph at week 5. You'd know about it if there was retained product as your body would be trying to get rid of it (ie., changing a liner more than 1/day). Maybe what the others have said: keep the iron uptake and also don't forget to rest when you can.

    Yeah, I went about 13 weeks with bleeding and then another 2-3 weeks of spotting. But I had a mirena put in at 6 weeks, and that can also cause up to 3 months of spotting, so it could have been a bit of that as well. But at 6 weeks, I was still using pretty heavy pads and changing 3-4x/day, so it wasn't just the mirena. I also had a scan at about 9 weeks for RPOC, because I lost a few chunky bits of tissue, and had BM supply issues, so they decided to check, but there was nothing.
