pp bleeding

[celticepona]

I bled for a while, weeks after Izzy and it was RED, but it had stopped well before 6 weeks. I'd give a call to your doc just to be safe.

After DS, mine lasted for a full six weeks and was consistently very heavy until it just stopped. With DD, it was pretty light until it stopped at 3 weeks. Both were sections, but DS was my PE pregnancy.

Agreeing with Kelly about putting a call in!

Hey, I don't know if there is any link with PE, but I do know from personal experience that bleeding can vary quite a bit by pregnancy. With one of my babies I bled for 10 weeks straight [I was convinced something was wrong towards the end, but it ended up just being normal for me], with another I only bled for 3 weeks [and I was sicker with PE that pregnancy]. The others were in the 5-6 week range... weird.

I think any bleeding past 6 weeks warrants a call to your OB, and if at 5 weeks you are still having bright red bleeding and/or heavy bleeding [sounds like you are having both], then you need to call your OB - today. They need to check you out. It could be normal for you, but *usually* the bleeding will have lightened up and stopped being bright red at 5 weeks.

I would say definitely call and get checked.

Hi, is there any link with pre-e and prolonged bleeding pp? I had prolonged bleeding with #1 until 10 weeks but not with #2. Both c section deliveries but I had 3 pv bleeds with number 2 and lost a lot of blood during trial of labour and delivery. No 5 weeks pp with #3 again a c section delivery and no sign of the bleeding deminishing. Still very red and no real reduction in loss since day 3 pp. Not sure whether to be concerned or not. Anyone else had similar results and is there any link with pre e symptoms?
