Whoa Roksana that sounds like you've had an early miscarriage. I say that because it was "chunky" and brown, ie old. It may pay to talk it over with your Doctor. Also watch for more cramps/loss this week.

You're lucky to not have your period back yet with Zaara over 1yo!!! I'm one of these women who get it back almost immediately ]]> Wed, 29 Nov 2006 12:54:59 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4539&PID=89982&title=post-partum-bleeding#89982 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4539&PID=89967&title=post-partum-bleeding#89967 Author: Roksana

Ok not thread jacking...but I had bled for 2-3 weeks after Zaara and nothing since then. But on Sat (two weeks ago)...I jumped in shower and bend down to pick up some thing and felt cramps...like period....soon (TMI)...Several chuncks of brown blood clots came out...and then the cramps were gone...still no period.

I am still b/feeding ......is this normal?? ]]> Wed, 29 Nov 2006 12:26:31 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4539&PID=89967&title=post-partum-bleeding#89967 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4539&PID=89960&title=post-partum-bleeding#89960 Author: mrs frantic

Frantic a lot of people do get their periods straight back again even when exclusively b/fing. For me, I have had it back at 2mos (with Hannah) and 3mos (with Briona)... so I envy all those people who don't get it back for 6-8mos!!

All the extra bleeding you have though does sound like minipill side-effects. I think it takes a little while to settle but I haven't had any personal experience with it (yea that's how you get preg 4 times in 3 years lol) - so I'd put in a call to the Doctor's office just to check everything is okay.]]> Wed, 22 Nov 2006 10:57:49 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4539&PID=88123&title=post-partum-bleeding#88123 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4539&PID=87909&title=post-partum-bleeding#87909 Author: mummy_becks

It made me bleed and bleed and bleed, my GP couldn't work out for a while why I was bleeding so much. I have finished the PPB (had been about 10 or so weeks and then I went on it and it screwed me up big time. I am very anti any pill but that is just me as I have tried a number of different pills and none of them worked for me.]]> Mon, 20 Nov 2006 21:43:18 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4539&PID=87909&title=post-partum-bleeding#87909 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4539&PID=87895&title=post-partum-bleeding#87895 Author: Paws

Hey Frantic...I'm bleeding again and as you already know I'm on the normal pill. I think mine is *just* my second period (started yesterday) as I'm on the sugar pills at the moment.

It is another really heavy one though! ]]> Mon, 20 Nov 2006 21:13:14 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4539&PID=87895&title=post-partum-bleeding#87895 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4539&PID=87892&title=post-partum-bleeding#87892 Author: nikkitheknitter

Yeah i was told that too - because the bleeding is from like a big wound inside you where the placenta was attached.. it's a bit raw, so it goes through all the same stages as any normal 'wound' picture if you had really grazed your arm bad.. ie bleeding, then slows, turns to icky coloured stuff, and eventually the bleeding/icky stuff stops and goes away and things heal.. but all the same, it can break back down and start bleeding again too until it's all healed up... that's why alot of people say that around day 10 Postpartum their bleeding gets kinda heavy again even if it had previously tapered off.. cos that's when things can break down a bit more in the healing process.

I had that too... bled for what seemed like FOREVER!

Also, bleeding can slow down and stop for a few days, then you do something that is even slightly active and it just starts again. So it could also partly be that.]]> Mon, 20 Nov 2006 15:23:26 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4539&PID=87789&title=post-partum-bleeding#87789 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4539&PID=87786&title=post-partum-bleeding#87786 Author: caraMel

I had the same thing too, without the assistance of the minipill so I think it can be normal.

It probably is the mini pill, although I've been too frightened to start taking mine yet. Not keen on the side effects, and Maya is my mini pill baby (I have learned that antibiotics+pill=baby).

It might pay to double check with your GP tho just in case it's retained products. My bleeding slowed around 2 weeks or so, then started again with a vengeance at 3 weeks until I finally passed a huge piece of membranes at 4 1/2 weeks that the midwife said must have been blocking up the works. Since that came out the bleeding has stopped completely and I had a scan on Fri which is all clear.]]> Mon, 20 Nov 2006 14:08:51 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4539&PID=87757&title=post-partum-bleeding#87757 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4539&PID=87746&title=post-partum-bleeding#87746 Author: my2angels

Yeah i had pretty much the same thing with PPB especially when i went on the mini pill. I stopped taking the pill and didnt get my period for over a month (wee panic there lol) then had a month or so of normal cycle, started the pill again and its all up the sh*t again and have been bleeding on and off since.

ok sorry if TMI but this is bugging me so here goes...
I had bleeding as usual for about 4 weeks after I gave birth then it stopped for two weeks. At the 6 week mark I had bleeding for about a week which I assumed was my period come back (even tho I am breastfeeding and they tell me it is rare to get your period back so soon if you are b/f)... andway then I was fine for a week and then I started bleeding again, it has been about 5 days now, almost like I have had another period but it cant be so soon again right..?
Is this normal...?
ps - started the mini pill about 10 days ago too
