TMI....bleeding 7 days later.....advice

**Twins Kelly** · 08-08-2010 19:27

Hello Again,
I had my boys last Friday, so it's been 9 days now and I am still bleeding, at a level I would call medium to heavy. I've always only ever had very light periods and never a heavy flow.
Should I be concerned and go to doc tomorrow or is this 'normal'??
I had Noah naturally and Jonah C-section, not sure if that makes any difference?
Thanks in advance,
Kel x

I bleed (lochia) up to 6 weeks after I had a bub.

Sounds ok to me, as long as you are not passing any big clots?!

My lochia lasted about 2 weeks at this medium ish level, then another couple of days really lightly.

if you are worried, just give your ob or mw a call!!
congrats on the boys!!!

Sounds normal to me, i bled for 6 weeks.

I bled for about 6 weeks, first 2 weeks was medium to heavy then it gradually got lighter.
As long as your well, not passing clots or the blood doesn't smell really offensive it all sounds normal to me.
If your concerned give your Ob, GP or MW a call just to be sure.

Congrats

It all sounds normal

As long as you are not passing any clots, and the lochia isn't offensive smelling then it all sounds fine to me.

Don't be afraid to contact your GP, midwife or Ob if you're concerned at all.

Congratulations on your twin boys
