TMI- 1st period after labor & D&E

in Late Term and Child Loss

I delivered Isaac and had a D&E on May 31, 2012 and I just got my first period.  Yesterday and today it is so heavy. I have been soaking a super tampon every 45m-1hr.  I spoke with the on call dr at my practice and she said wait a few more hrs. Call back if it does not subside. I will have to go to the emergency room.  


Has this happened to anyone?

    I'm sorry to say I have no experience or advice.  But that sounds like a lot of bleeding so I am glad you have spoken with your doctor about it.  I hope it lightens up soon.

    BFP #2 7/11/12.  EDD 3/23/13.  Ada Alice born 3/20/13.

    My first period after delivering the boys was very heavy. It seemed to be pouring out. I was concerned and called the doctor too and he told me if it continued like that for more than 2 days I would need to go in. It was really heavy like that for about a day and then let up a bit. I hope yours subsides soon.

    I too had the on call doctor when I got my first period. It was SO heavy and I was SO crampy. It did get better. Just hang in there.

    My first period after delivering Joshua was so heavy that I ended up in the ER.   For me it lasted about 18 hours super heavy but hung around for 8 days as light/spotting.

    Thanks a ton ladies. I am sorry that you have all experienced this heavy bleeding. It lessened a little around 4pm today.  I have been told to hold off on the ER for now, thankfully.  I am able to go 2-3 hrs now on a super tampon.  I have no cramping or pain just heavy flow.  I am hoping it subsides tomorrow even more.

    Thanks!! I got nervous that it was so heavy and wanted to make sure 1. my drs knew 2. that it was "normal".

    My first period after delivery was REALLY heavy and also very painful.  I would guess that I was changing every hour or so completely soaked through.  I did end up back in the hospital, but it was just for peace of mind.  Sorry your going through this.  The first one was very emotional for me and I imagine that that's pretty common.  T&P
