Postpartum Question for You Ladies!

Hello Ladies! I gave birth to miss Layla on October 14th (I was exactly a week overdue and was scheduled to be induced that morning and my water broke at about 1am! and out she came 10 hours later!)
I had no real issues with soreness afterwords. I had one stitch due to a small tear up by my urthrea, other than that. Nothing!

However, I am now 11 weeks postpartum and STILL bleeding! I went in for my six week checkup on 11/26, and informed my doctor of it, as well as had the mirena IUD put in. My doctor said I had healed up very well, and the bleeding (it would slow, then start with a vengence) was probably due to hormones with BFing. And then Mirena could cause some spotting, for some people. 
But im now 11 weeks and have yet had ONE day without bleeding. It slows, i get down to a slight spotting, then by the next morning, BAM its back bleeding again.


Do I have reason to be concerned? I was doing this before mirena so i dont think thats the problem.

I wish I could give you some sort of comfort her but I have no idea!


I would like to think that your doctor knows what he is talking about and all is healing well. Maybe call his office and speak with his nurse. Sometimes the nurse listens to your concerns a little better than the doctor and she can speak with your doctor to make sure all is really ok.


If you don't feel comfortable with the answers you are getting, see another doctor. Most women know their own body pretty well, if something doesn't seem right, make sure you get answers!


I hope everything else is going well and you are enjoying every minute with Layla:)
