hi ladiess ...

well i had my baby nearly 6weeks ago and im lossing alot of blood.

after the birth i lost blood as you normally do after the birth then it stopped. i was in incredible pain (down there) and as id had 2nd degree tears down there after mia was born i went to the doctord to get it checked... she toldme my stitches had come open and i had an infection so i was put on a corse of anti-biotix for 7days i finished that and went back to the doctors and got checked again and she said all was healed so me and OH took advantage of the fact i was healled and my sex drive had come back so we DTD it felt weird but nice but then... i started spotting so i thought i was comeing on my period again well the last 4 days i have been bleeding heavyly i leak through everything and have passed 3-4 50P size blood clots

im so confussed is this my period why am i loosing clots ?? what should i do ??xx

It could be you period (especially if you are not breast feeding) Or it could be retained products causing issues.
You should see your doctor and get it checked out.
How long were you bleed free for?

hi i had stopped bleedin for a few days, i started to bleed heavy again and passed a clot the size of a gold ball the bleedin eased again after that but i rang my district nurse about it anyway she said it was prob just a finaly clear out but if it happened again so to my dr to get it checked out maybe it would be no harm for u to get it checked out just in case

I would get checked out, i had retained placenta (only a small piece that broke away) however it took till 12 weeks pp to get anyone to listen to me, had a super strong course of anti biotics that made me really poorly and passed the placenta myself! (not a nice sight i might add), had a scan and luckily i was all clear after the antibiotics and the placenta coming out.

May be normal but best to be sure. My midwife told me unless its clot bigger than orange then not worry and i think this is why i went so long and had such a bad infection. She told me it was probably a urine infection lol.

Go to a&e. I had retained placenta - sounds like you've got something retained too. X
