I was told my bleeding should get less and
less each day, but recently it's got heavy
again.. Really heavy. And I have stomach
cramps, it's horrible to make things
worse, I also have a headache, and while
i'm looking after .Jenny by myself it's
pretty tough to stay patient with her.
She keeps wanting to sleep on me rather
than in her cot, and she cries til I put
her onto my chest. I don't want her to
make a habit of it, but right now it's
better than her crying making my headache
worse.
The pains are so bad they're reminiscent
of being in labour! Should I call my
health visitor/midwife?
I didnt have pains with my bleeding,
but...Mine was getting heavier and heavier
after 6 weeks, it was bad. I went into
the docs office and they put me on the
pill. That stopped the bleeding...But
what they did first was went up me to make
sure there wasnt any placental tissue
left, cause that is a possibility.
Since you are having pains and bad
bleeding I would def. Go to the doctor,
and they may need to check you internally
to make sure there isnt any tissue left up
there.

.I'm not 100% sure, but .I don't think you
should have bad cramps. Slight ones are
ok .I believe, but .I would call your
midwife just to get her opinion. Looks
like .Jenny enjoy's her mommy's company
adriana always wanted to lay down to
sleep....So .I'm jealous. Good luck and
let us know how things go.

Zanny honey, are you breastfeeding? And
how old is .Jenny now?
I continued to have
contractions/after-birth pains (whichever
you want to call them) when I nursed .Aly
for a few weeks. The contractions made me
bleed heavier.
Jenny will be 3 weeks old tomorrow. It's
scary how quick time has flown!
No i'm not breastfeeding.. Jenny never
got the hang of it, even though I did keep
trying. I was expressing my milk until a
few days ago.. It made my nipples soooo
sore even when I put lanolin stuff on
them.. And .Jenny's appetite really
increased so I couldn't keep up with how
much she wanted.
I think i'm gunna have to see my doctor
about these pains; they're really bad, and
I keep going dizzy. Yuck

Yeah, if you're not breastfeeding,
increased cramping is definitely not
normal. Call your doctor as soon as you
can. And keep us posted as to how you're
doing!
Poor girl. *hugs!*

Gosh, it does not seem like .Jenny will be
three weeks already! Time goes by too
darn fast! Yes, I would recommend that
you see your dr about your headaches and
your bleeding, I remember bleeding for
quite a while after my 1st and heavy until
after getting on the pill and I
havemigraine headaches every now and then
and they are no picnic. Keep us posted.
I hope things get better for you!

i stopped bleeding after a month. And on
the one month mark, I passed a large piece
of placenta. I posted about it..
My Dr. Said it was normal as long as it
was coming out and I wasn't feverish.
Well my midwife came round to see me
today, so I asked her about the bleeding
and the pain.. And she didn't seem to
think the heavy bleeding was serious
because i'm not passing any large clots
with it.. But the pain isn't normal so I
have to see my doctor tomorrow. It's
actually a lot better than it was
yesterday, so it'll probably be gone by
the time I see the doctor.. Typical.
Anyway, she weighed .Jenny while she was
here.. And she's now 5lbs 14oz!! She was
only 5lbs 3oz on monday.. So she's
reeeeally piled it on in the last week!
I'm so happy. My poor little munchkin has
tummy ache at the moment though; she keeps
crying and I can't do anything to make it
better

Lay her on her tummy over your lap and
gently rub her back - it used to help my
son
