6days postpartem and heavy bleeding and clots is it normal?
May 24th, 2008 Posted by: admin
I am 6 days postpartem and my discharge had really slowed down until last night. All the sudden I am bleeding bright red with big (quarter size) clots. About the same as a normal period. It’s just so heavy compared to the last few days that I am concerned. But this is my first baby and I don’t really know what to expect. I called the doctors office and they said if I soak through an entire maxi pad then go to the hospital and that I should rest more. The only thing I’m doing is taking care of the baby, so I don’t really know how to do less. What can I do? What should I be concerned about? Does this sound normal?
Also, I am having alot of tightening and pressure in my vaginal and **** muscles. Is this normal? (I tore very very badly all the way through the ****.)
Thanks for your input!

heavy flow after delivery is not uncommon, but as they told you, if you saturate a napkin in less than an hour, that is too much and you need to go back to the hospital for treatment.

Congratulations on the new baby!!!
If you are in pain call the doctor or if you are unsure! Remember you pushed a baby out, so everything is going to be sore for some time!
