I Have a Question About Period After Pregnancy? Posted: 12-06-05 09:51am
Hi everyone its savannah I had my baby 6
weeks early I had her october 18th at 34
weeks pregnant she is doing great she was
5lbs 10 ozs at birth she is now over 8 lbs
and she is 8 weeks old now ummm mt
question is about periods after pregnancy
I started my period about a week ago and I
still have it and it is really really
heavy I go through about 6 pads in an hour
or more and it hasn't gotten lighter so I
was wondering is this normal? And when
should it start to get lighter? Thanks

How long have you been bleeding, and when
did you start your period, and the
bleeding sounds not quite normal.

if you are going through that many pads an
hour. You need to call you decotor and
let them know what is going on. After I
had my daughter (she was a preemie as
well). They told me went I went home if I
bleed more than a pad or two an hour too
call them.. Is there any clots at all?
Do you feel dizzy at all? I would def.
Put a call in or go there and get checked

I agree with tazzy, honey I would, you
could end up being anmic sweety, and you
are losing quite a bit of blood. Please
do get checked out, they can run test too
as well. My sister in law was like that
for 2 months and she thought it was normal
the whole time, and I told her it was not
normal. But her case she didnt just have
a baby eaither, her kids were a lot older,
so it does not make a differance when you
had your kids , of course they gave her
depo shot to stop it, so they may do that,
and run test to see if everythings ok with
your female organs, ill pray for you
everything will be ok, you might have
someone to drive you, so if possibly you
could faint, just being precausious. Ok
good luck to you. From hotty. :d
