11 days PP- still bleeding bright red, hemmoraged after birth

MrsDB · October 2009

Is that normal? I can't remember how long it was red for when I had DD. I'm not bleeding much, i could go 2 days without changing a pad and still not fill it (not that i would- eww- but i could)- but it's still a bright red. I don't want to bug my drs on the weekend, so i figured i'd ask here until monday rolls around. I hemmoraged pretty badly for about 10 hours after having her if you think that'd matter. All that they said at discharge was to call if it started to get heavy again.

I had red for 2-2.5 weeks and wasn't pad-free until 5.5 weeks.

Totally normal. Bright red for me for at least the first 3 weeks... I even passed some pretty big clots, all normal. It started to lighten (color and amount) after 3 weeks and I was wearing pads until 7wks pp. HTH
