Bugger but great you have a good GP (and a well timed appointment!). Hope it gets sorted soon]]> Wed, 01 Apr 2009 21:15:05 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25621&PID=650854&title=bleeding-question-tmi#650854 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25621&PID=650786&title=bleeding-question-tmi#650786 Author: rachelsea

Thanks, yeah it's not normal! Doc did a scan and it turns out there is still something in my uterus so having a blood test tomorrow morning, which will determine if it's a bit of placenta (apparently the hcg level will be slightly elevated if it's placenta) and if it is I will be having a D&C tomorrow afternoon. But if the blood test is normal, I'll have another scan in a week to see if it's still there. So guess I'll find out what's happening tomorrow. ]]> Wed, 01 Apr 2009 20:27:57 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25621&PID=650786&title=bleeding-question-tmi#650786 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25621&PID=650782&title=bleeding-question-tmi#650782 Author: busymum

How'd it go? Sometimes the bleeding can come and go, particularly if you have been active. But by 6 weeks I don't think I have ever still had bright red bleeding. My mw was telling me today that if I ever had clots I should call her right away - so I wonder if you still have some membranes in there or something?]]> Wed, 01 Apr 2009 20:26:29 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25621&PID=650782&title=bleeding-question-tmi#650782 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25621&PID=650616&title=bleeding-question-tmi#650616 Author: Shezamumof3

Mmm yeah it shouldnt get heavier at 6 weeks, by then it should just be icky brown stuff. I had a C Section, and my bleeding lasted 6 weeks, but by the 6 week mark it was just dirty brown looking stuff and icky discharge.
I hope you got some answers from the doc today hun.]]> Wed, 01 Apr 2009 17:03:00 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25621&PID=650616&title=bleeding-question-tmi#650616 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25621&PID=650468&title=bleeding-question-tmi#650468 Author: Chickoin

Doesn't sound normal to me sorry chick. It shouldn't be getting heavier at all.
Maybe it is AF back but I don't think you should be passing clots etc, unless you have always had very heavy AFs?
Definately tell your OB just to make sure it's all ok.]]> Wed, 01 Apr 2009 13:32:19 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25621&PID=650468&title=bleeding-question-tmi#650468 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25621&PID=650451&title=bleeding-question-tmi#650451 Author: rachelsea

Hmm, so my baby will be 6 weeks old on Friday. When I had her, the MW said I'd bleed for 4-6 weeks, but that it would go from red, to pink, to brown then nothing. Well it did all that (but only went to "nothing" for about a day - 2 weeks ago). Since then it's steadily become redder and heavier for the last few days there have been blood clots when I go to the loo, and today it's so heavy I have to change my pad everytime I go to the loo.

Did anyone else have something like this? Luckily I have my 6 week postpartum checkup with the obstetrician this arvo, but just wanted some opinions before I go as to what it sounds like is happening. Hope it's not AF back already!! (I'm breastfeeding so will feel SO ripped off if I do have AF back already, lol)

Thanks in advance ]]> Wed, 01 Apr 2009 13:13:50 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25621&PID=650451&title=bleeding-question-tmi#650451
