I know i asked close to the same question last night but this morning I woke up and my blood flow is moving really fast now. It is similar to right after when I just had my baby. By the way the people who didnt read my question last night is I am five weeks postpartum and my period stopped a couple days ago finaly after having it for four weeks straight and now it came back worst than before. I still dont see any blood clots or anything sorry for being so detail but the blood just runs down my leg. I have never bleed this hard before in a normal period. I called the doctor and they are supposed to be calling me back. I was just wondering what you people think. thanks for all you answers

This very thing happened to me. My post-partum bleeding had tapered off and then 2 days later I had terrible cramping, clots and heavy bleeding that lasted for longer than a week. Turned out it was my period instead of the lochia. I wasn't breastfeeding & had already started birth control so my hormones were all out of wack. Anyway, wouldn't worry too much especially if there are no huge clots. Your body is still healing and your periods will be sporatic for another month or so. Good luck & don't worry yourself to death about it:)

My gosh, I know I've stayed on for several weeks after the baby came but never was there blood running down my leg. Sounds like some kind of internal bleeding. You need to see a doctor ASAP. I wouldn't say this is normal, but something inside you is wrong which is causing the heavy bleeding. See the doctor as soon as you can. Good Luck!

I know after I had my daughter I bled for 4 weeks from the delivery. After I stopped I didn't have a period for 3 months. My periods have Never been as bad as you are describing. I would be VERY concerned (not to scare you). Call the doctor back and tell them how you feel. If they tell you they will call you back I'd call another Gyno or go to the ER. That is just what I would do. You know how bad it is we don't. Go with your gut.Good luck!!

If blood is running down your legs even with a pad on, you need to go to the hospital right away.

I would call again and let them know what is going on. It sounds serious enough for them to at least want to take a look at you. If you don't think they are giving you the attention you need, call another doctor and ask their opinion.
