🚨TMI Question🚨: I am 12 days pp and i had to go back to wearing a full pad instead of a pantyliner and am having a lot of dark red blood clots that are fairly large. also i feel very sore down there like i usually am when i get my period. i had a regular delievery no complications. i did have an episiotomy but the blood isnt coming from back there. thought i was healing great and fast but now im a little concerned. any advice? going to call the dr tmrw but i need to put my mind at ease if this is normal...
thanks ladies. i was just concerned cuz it was so light then got really heavy again. @_akgirl @kitsunerivka
Blood flow can increase and decrease for 6 weeks after giving birth. So long as the clots aren't large and you aren't soaking four pads an hour (according to my OB) it isn't a concern. But it's a good idea to consult your OB and see what they think, not every doctor is the same.
I bled for more then a month that is how mine was as well
