Long Period?

Is anyone still on their first post natal period? I have been on mine for almost 2 weeks now… should I be worried or is this normal?

Are you referring to the postpartum bleeding you get straight from giving birth? If so, it’s not really a period as such and can last up to 8 weeks x

@Polly no I stopped bleeding after 4 weeks - there was a clear break with normal discharge etc for about 5 days and then my period began the same way that they always did prior to pregnancy…. Usually its only 3-5 days though and this one is lingering with no sign of stopping at 13 days and counting:/

This was similar to me. I went back to the hospital to test to see if there was any placenta left inside but was told it was either a longer period or just postpartum bleeding. I would call your gp just to double check x

I'm 23 days post partum and still bleeding.

@Polly thank you! I have an appointment for our gp check up (will be 7weeks+2 then) so will bring it up then

If your concerned in any way gst checked love x I stopped bleeding after 4 days and no period in sight yet, my little one is nearly 6 weeks
