Period after birth

Hi mama! Nurse here 👋 If you’re soaking through 1 pad or tampon every 1-2 hrs you should call your doctor! Could be postpartum hemorrhage, which could happen up to 12 weeks after delivery
My period was insanely heavy too! Like I could feel it gush out of me when standing up. I had to change my pad about every 2 hours for fear I would leak. I couldn't leave the house it was so heavy. My period was at 8.5 weeks and lasted about a week. It was terrible! I hope it doesn't happen for the second because I'm thinking it'll happen my first week back to work 😭
They tried to tell me it was a period! It was hemorrhaging do not be scared to question them I had left over placenta which an ultra sound also didn’t show don’t want to go in once the bleeding gets better go now!
I was bleeding so much at 5 weeks, I bled on my hairstylist chair. Was bleeding through my clothes, shorts, underwear. It ended two days ago finally. So almost 5 days of bleeding and 3 days of it being the heaviest I ever had in my life
I would suggest getting double checked for left over placenta just to be safe! Hopefully it was a period
I think you should go to the doctor. If you’re completely soaking through pads, then something must be wrong.
If you’re soaking three pads after pregnancy and the bleeding is extremely heavy, you should contact your doctor
