Post Pregnancy Periods

JackieMac824

So I am on my second post pregnancy period and it is heavy - heavier then the first period after baby.  I am on day six and it seems to just be getting heavier and heavier.  I am thinking of calling the doctor - I am getting worried.  Is this normal?  Is anyone else dealing with this??

My doctor told me that my first and maybe second PP period would be heinous, and it was.  If you are concerned though, maybe give your doc a call just to make sure.

I just finished pp period #2 and it was normal.  My first period was super heavy for 4 days and then one day of light but this time it was back to normal - medium for 2 days and light for 2 days.

If you are concerned I would call, but unless you are passing clots or feeling that your general health is in decline, I would wait it out a couple more days.  My periods (including #1) after my first were 100% normal and my first one this time was a lot heavier so I was a bit concerned at first, but literally after day 4 of heavy bleeding it stopped and I only needed the one day of pantyliners.  It was like instead of doing a slow drip to end, it just all dumped and then the tap shut off.

My first PP pregnancy was sooo light and 2 days long.

PP #2 is a nightmare! OMG.

Definitely call if you are worried, you know your body best!
