I had a baby on May 3rd (c-section) I then had the normal bleeding after pregnancy & it lasted about 4 weeks. Well after 4 1/2 months of no period I started my menses two days ago.
Day one was a relativly normal flow-
Day two was so so heavy I think I changed my pad every hour 1/2 & through the night I changed it too.
This morning (day 3) its still really heavy clots & bright red.
I called my OBGYN & she scared the heck out of me. She told me to take a preg test (which I will today & if postive go to ER) If not positive & continue to soak a pad every 1 to 2 hours to go to the ER. She said I may need IV fluids or worse case a blood transfusion......Im so scared! I have never had periods this heavy in my life. :'(

I would be scared by such doc's reaction too
o.O
She may be right about receiving fluids, but this only in case the heavy bleeding continues and you become anemic.
Have you seen a doc yet? I suppose they will give you a shot to stop the bleeding. Have you had problems with periods before?

Thanks so much! Well my pregnancy test was negative (I knew it would be) & thankfully my period has been normal flow for several hours now.
It was really really heavy for about 24 hours, but now it has slowed down. I was so extremely lightheaded while it was heavy. SCARY
I was anemic during pregnancy & did not continue the Iron pills after I had the baby. Guess I shouldve? Anyways - Im hoping the flow will be normal from here on out? Im guessing the major blood loss was a build up in the lining from a lack of period for 4 1/2 months?
