Still on and off bleeding and clots after 11 weeks???? Retained placenta??? (TMI)

Hi Ladies,

I am just after having my second child.
I bled for 16 weeks with my first and then fell pregnant with my daughter straight after..
15 weeks after delivery-to-this-day- I'm still bleeding. Everything was perfect through out my pregnancy and I had both babies naturally, both great births.
I can't go on bleeding, the smell is horrible and it's very depressing.

Going for a US on Tues..
This isn't right is it? Should I be bleeding this long??

Hi..

If there is a smell i would be worried about infection. I guess you will find out after your u/s but it sounds like you may need some antibiotics and maybe a D&C if you have retained products. Goodluck x

Thank you. Stupid question but will a D&C hurt?
