I think the basic consensus is that every woman is different. As long as heavy or red bleeding has stopped - resume whenever you are ready to! (Unless against dr's specific orders of course).

Bug is 7.5 months old and I have been having my period regularly since he was about 10 weeks. They are extremely heavy, much heavier then they ever were before I was pregnant. They are about the same length and the cramps are as much fun as ever, just much heavier flow. It is also very heavy for most of my period, not just a day or two in the middle. Any one else have this? I need to make an appt. for my annual exam soon (fun, fun) since I actually have gone 2 years already due to when the pregnancy fell, is this something I should ask about? Thanks for any advice.
Kris

My periods after I had Hannah got longer and the flow was heavier than I'd had before her. Before her they were 3-5 days with the heaviest flow being medium in 'consistency'. After I had her they were 5-7 days with the heaviest flow being heavy consistency. I've not gotten my cycle back since Jael but I think it's normal for it to change after every pregnancy. My good friend has 6 children and she told me hers changed after *every single child*.

I assume when we're done having babies they won't be an issue anymore. If you've never had them before, I think they should go away pretty quickly and not come back.
When my sister was still pregnant, she was all excited about not getting hemorrhoids. I told her to wait until after she had the baby to get excited. I didn't get any until after I had Akeelah and for a few months I kept getting them but it seems to have stopped. I had never had them before and wasn't impressed when they kept showing up after the birth!

Part of it that I'm still losing a few clots here and there. I actually pulled out a 4" long piece of placenta the other night.
Um...are you talking about when you were still in the hospital, Tammy? The placenta is supposed to be completely gone once you're ready to go home. Actually it's supposed to come out in one piece and if it doesn't after delivery they do a D&C because any left over placenta can make a woman very very sick.

No, this was after I was home from the hospital. I'm assuming it was placenta, because it sure looked like it - but I've never touched it before. It was really big though and looked like it was. Like I said, I called my dr and she was concerned, but after asking me about my bleeding (what color it was and if there was more/less) she said to keep monitoring it really closely and phone her ASAP if the bleeding increased at all, or if there was more coming out. She was surprised because she had checked the placenta over and she was sure she got it all out. She said sometimes there can be an extra lobe or something and the body just gets rid of it.
The bleeding has continued to get less over all. I'll have a couple hours of nothing, then some of light bleeding - but nothing heavy at all anymore. And it's not bright red.

I don't think it was placenta. The doctors are always very careful to check the placenta after birth to make sure that it is all intact. If it's not they'll go in and sweep the uterus to get it all out. I'm thinking that it was probably just a large clot from your body healing. If it was placenta then you could get very sick...so monitor your symptoms closely, please.

Is it normal for the bleeding to completely stop for several hours, and then have a gush big enough that you can feel it gushing?

Yes. Did you do too much today? When I would do too much is when that would happen. You're like 2 weeks ppd right? You shouldn't be lifting anything heavier than your wee baby boy...nothing heavier!

What colour was it, and were there any clots in it (if so what size)?
Did it soak through more than one pad in an hour? If so, you need to tell your doc.

There was one small clot. I would say it was dark red - definitely not bright. It half filled the pad with the gush, and then it stopped again. That's what it seems to be doing lately, nothing and then a gush and then nothing again. It usually happens during or shortly after nursing (I'm guessing from uterus contractions?).

Everything's healing nicely down below. I think the hemmorrhoids are totally gone. But now I'm starting to get a bit rashy - I guess from everything still being sensitive and then rubbing against the pads. I remember having this problem after Olivia too. Ugh. I guess I'll just put some cornstartch on it. Any other ideas?
