    Question Just filled pad in half an hour????

    Hi everyone! Sorry if this thread is too much info but i have to ask, cause im worried. I had our beautiful girl 11 days ago and tonight i noticed that things have changed with discharge. My discharge had actually gone to the whitish looking discharge that i only had to change my pad every 4 hrs and even then its not even half filled. Tonight i noticed that i started having cramping again in my tum, which i havent had since a wk ago. Then i noticed that it changed colour to bright red. So i changed my pad and then i felt a gush come out a few times. I went to check my pad half an hour after putting it on and it was filled and bright red!!!! My tummy is cramping quite hard and even now im feeling more come out. Also ive been feeling feverish all day, but my bloody themometer doesnt work so i cant tell what my temp is. Has this happened to anyone? I never had this with my other two so this is a new one to me. Should i be worried? Again sorry for TMI!

    I would think that a call to the maternity nurse where you had Ariana (beautiful name btw - I love it) wouldnt hurt - would allay your fears.

    Might be nothing but no harm in asking.

    I had a similar thing happen with #1 and it turned out to be a tiny bit of retained placenta, mind u that happened to me a few days after baby, probably good idea for you to go down to the emergency room and get checked out hun your better off safe than sorry
    goodluck

    It could be retained placenta or an infection, I had an infection which made the blood flow really weird for a while.

    I agree mate go and get checked out or at least call the maternity ward.

    I passed a clot about ten days after dd was born and it turned out that it was a uterine infection which I need antibiotics for.
