Need ADVICE!

I had my baby via c-section 7 weeks ago. I stopped PP bleeding about 5 weeks after c section. 5 days ago I started getting really bad cramps and started bleeding heavily. I assumed this was my period starting. I didn't breastfeed so I expected it around 7-8 weeks PP. The only problem is, I have been bleeding very very heavily for the 5 almost 6 days now.I don't fill a pad every hour but the gushes usually fill the pad up quickly. I cramp off and on. (TMI) When I stand up, I feel a gush and it doesn't seem to be slowing down at all! Any of you other moms out there have this problem??? I cant take birth control pills due to clotting issues. Is there something they can do besides birth control? Is this normal??? Starting to worry!!

I BF, but still got my period back about 9 weeks PP (was really bummed about that lol). I wasn't taking birth control either and yes, mine sounded just like yours. My cramps were so bad before I started that I almost called my OB, but then I started bleed

My first pp period after my c/s came 4mo after delivery.  It was normal in length, but incredibly heavy.  Lots of gushing when I stood up.  The gushing was mainly because my lady bits were still slightly swollen so when I was sitting, a sma
