WARNING!!!!
*TMI*
GRAPHIC BLOODY PICTURES
Has anyone experienced secondary postpartum hemorrhaging? I'm wonder how long you were bleeding for? And if youve had more than one baby did you have postpartum hemorrhaging with the other births?
I gave birth to my first child 2 weeks ago and have been bleeding heavy ever since. Exactly one week after giving birth i woke up to a "gushing" feeling over and over again. I went to the bathroom to find my maternity pad completely saturated and with blood clots in it. I had my husband come into the bathroom as i wasnt feeling right. I stood up and instantly my vision went blurry,hearing was muffled,and whole body went tingly/numb.i felt that way for a good minute or two. My husband called my doctors emergency on call number. She wasnt too concerned and said that its probably happening because my baby fed alot earlier and it wasnt causing my uterus to contract. And if i fill a pad with blood in an hour go to the ER or if i pass a clot bigger than a plum. So i put a new pad in and laid down for a nap.well i woke up an hour later to check on the bleeding. I sat up and felt more gushing. When i got up i found that i had bled through my pad,my pants and through the hospital bed chuck pad i put down on my mattress. My pad was soaked and had a very large clot in it. (See photo)keep reading..

I was feeling light headed and weak so my husband called his mother to come watch our newborn and he rushed me to the hospital. As soon as they got me into a room my vision went blurry, hearing muffled,and body numb. They put and IV in me and got me started on a liter of fluids. They took about 5 large vials of blood and said they would check my levels and more than likely give me a blood transfusion. We sat in the room for about an hour waiting for the results. They finally came back and said the results came back fine but wanted to check my levels again in about an hour. The doctor wanted to do an exam and see if the bleeding was coming from my cervix or up higher. So my husband walked me to the bathroom to get cleaned up for the exam. As i sat on the toilet blood was pouring out me nonstop and clots kept falling out. I remember telling my husband i didnt feel good and next thing i know im waking up on the hospital bed hooked up to oxygen. He said after i said i didnt feel good the doctor told me to lay down on the bed. I guess on my walk back to the bed my face and lips lost all color and i went "wet noodle" on them and completely collapsed. My husband got on one side of me, doctor on the other, and a nurse had to come in and grab my feet and carry me to the bed. After i woke up they gave me another liter of fluids. They let me rest for about 30 minutes and did the exam. she said she didnt see anything in my vagina or cervix and said the hemorrhaging was most likely coming from my uterus. So she ordered an ultra sound and the results showed clotting in my uterus. They gave me a shot to cause my uterus to contract and my blood to clotting so the bleeding would slow down. Finally after 8 hours in the ER i finally stopped passing clots and the bleeding slowed down. Well here i am another week later(2 weeks after birth) i wake up and get out of bed and as soon as i stand up i feel like im birthing something. I hurry to the bathroom and find my pad soaked again and this clot in there.🙄 i feel like this is never ending. I just want to be healed up! I want to have more children,but am traumatize by this experience😩
