Bloeding
IkkeGuest ·
Hi everyone,
I don't remember exactly what's normal after giving birth anymore (forgot everything). So, I gave birth 3.5 weeks ago. About 1.5 weeks after the birth, the bleeding seemed to have stopped; I hadn't lost any blood for almost 24 hours. Then it suddenly started again, with bright red or sometimes almost black bleeding. It wasn't super heavy, just like a heavy period. That bleeding lasted for another week, and then after a week, I went to the toilet and suddenly a large piece came out. I thought it was a clot at first, but it was hard/tough, about the size of my palm. After that, the bleeding became less again and brownish for about 2-3 days. So I thought that's why the bleeding got worse because it had to come out. But after 2-3 days of brown discharge, it became bright red again and increased in amount. I don't have severe pain or anything, just some period-like cramps and occasionally a sharp pain. Is this normal, or should I call the gynecologist just to be safe? I don't want to seem like a nag by calling for no reason.
Greetings!

I'd definitely give them a call. It's supposed to be that the bleeding decreases. -

You should call and get checked to make sure your uterus is empty. It's possible that some placenta tissue remained, which your uterus is trying to expel on its own, which also explains the blood clots. I went through this myself after a miscarriage, and it only stopped once the last piece of the gestational sac was removed. -

Does the bleeding start again after a day of doing a lot?
Calling can definitely do more harm than good.
This can last up to 6 weeks and is normal.
