Normal Periods Postpartum. Had Periods With Bad Cramps, Large Clots, Heavy Bleeding. Should I Be Concerned?
Hi,
I am 13 months postpartum and since I breastfed for over a year I am on my 3rd postpartum period. I had two fairly normal, although long, periods but this time is different. It is day three and the first two days were light but tonight I had bad cramping and suddenly started passing large clots (5 larger than a golf ball) and have heavy bleeding. I literally couldn't leave the bathroom for 45 minutes since the bleeding almost came in gushes. Should I be concerned?
