post birth bleeding....

I'm full of Q's tonight!!!

So when does the retched thing stop??!!!???!!!???
It's been over 5 weeks now & it's still going strong. I had about a day & 1/2 break a week ago... then it started again... It's driving me ( & dh ;) ) nuts!!!!
I know they say 4-6 weeks, but I want it to stop now!!!!!!! :mad:

Have you been massaging your uterus at all?
This has really helped me both times, bleeding stopped within a week or so last time, and this time around, I am on day 2 post partum and have almost stopped bleeding now.
If you do massage your belly, sometimes it makes things heavier for a day, but usually drastically reduces the flow after that.

Oh congrats on your new addition!!! & well done for a home birth too!!
No, I havn't been doing that, might try it though. No one has ever mentioned it to me b4!! I'll give anything a go at this stage ;) :cool:
