Hi all! I am 8 days pp and had suffered a retained placenta resulting in a postpartum hemhorrage following the birth of my son. I had Surgery to remove the placenta and clean out my uterus, so the first week my bleeding was minimal. The last few days I had hardly and lochia, I have literally been in bed with baby, but I keep having episodes of gushes of blood with some clots. My MW says its normal, but I'm terrified of hemhorraging again or having a uterine infection. I feel very out of control when it comes to my body right now! And I literally have been in bed doing nothing for 8 days. I'm about to lose my mind.
Has your lochia come and gone like this? Are there any other PPH sufferers out there who have overcome this fear?
