Hi im sat here panicking ...
I had my daughter who weighed 9lb 13, 11 weeks ago, i blead on and off for 2 weeks then heamoraged and needed a d&c (retained placenta) i only blead for another week after that.. now 9 weeks later for the past 2 days ive been having bad cramps in my abdomin and today i wiped myself and had what i can only describe as a mucus plug with some blood on it (tiny bit t spoon) so me being me took myself up to a & e ( am traumatized from what happeend before) they took my bloods, swabs, examined me, bloods shows no infection, swab takes 48 hrs, she said everything felt fine no need for an ultrasound yet (booked in for 1 in 5 weeks) and its probably the start of my period.. but what was this mucus plug thing? is it the start of my period? im really worried the cramps are still there but no bleeding ... has anyone gone through simular? thanks xx

It's most likely more lining from your uterus from the birth that just hadn't been released yet. That's not uncommon at all. Try not to worry hun.

It could be just left over blood and mucus from the D&C and baby. Sometimes the first period is a weird one after you have a baby, so it's usually nothing to worry about. I would still get an ultrasound if things don't change in that time period, but it's probably nothing.

I had a child when I was 18 which weighed 9lb 3oz and I went through a similiar distressing time afterwards.There are so many problems these symptoms can be caused by. You need to have a long talk with your OB/GYN and insist he/she get to the bottom of this and explain what is going on to you in a manner that you understand. Unfortunately, this is a quite common occurance after childbirth. Your doctor can make a diagnosis and treat your problem.

If you have already been seen about this, calm yourself. The plug could just be some left over from the D&C. Your body is just getting back to normal. If you are not hemorhaging, or running a fever, just relax. You've been through a lot. If you have a rocking chair, rock your baby. I found that that would sooth me as much as the baby. You are going to be fine:-)

you stated that you had a D&C because of a retained placenta=its possible that they didnt get it all and that was what came out=Did you have your 6 week check-up after baby was born?= if you are worried ,ask Dr to put you on birth control so you can regulate your periods
