Still bleeding.....

[mbear]

ok...almost to the hour i gave birth 2 weeks ago today.....im still bleeding, not loads, not a pad an hour or anything...but enough to wear a pad. With the girls i stopped 7-10 days after birth. Today is 14 days. Should i be concerned ???? Sometimes its red, sometimes its brown....
My placenta came away jagged - i.e it wasnt a clean break away from my body. It had jaggered edges they explained, so slight chance there could be some placenta remains...but ive had no pains, no discomfort...just this godamn bleeding. Im breastfeeding too....

Should i be concerend ??????

i bled for 6 weeks after Mia. I think the only reason it stopped was coz i went on the pill. I think u dont have to be worried about retained placenta unless ur passing clots or its really heavy (someone correct me if im wrong). SO its normal darl and can last for many weeks yet. SOrry.

I bled for about 10 weeks after DD

7 weeks here. I was told it was fairly normal. Like Mumma Mia it only stopped when I went on the pill.

You're probably right to wait until your 6 week check before getting too worried - unless there's obvious signs of infection (clots, pain, odour, etc).
