Bleeding...

I was induced and had my son. Well the placenta wouldn't come out so they wheeled me into the OR so they could do a D&C to get it. No problem...but I am still bleeding and passing medium clots. It's been 15 days. Is this normal? I know I don't have an infection because I was given an antibiotic in my IV "just incase." I have no cramping. I heard the bleeding was only like a week but I show no signs of letting up.

I've been bleeding for just about the same amount of time since my D&C. My doctor said that wasn't a problem, that it probably related somewhat to residual pregnancy hormones.

I'm with you, though. I just want it to stop, to have it over and behind me.

I had a D&C on Nov.3 and I bled slightly that day, then a little brown for a few days and now nothing. I'm sure everyone is different.

I think my D&C was the same day as yours (nov 2nd) and I am still having bleeding. The first 5-6 days I had next to nothing then more red blood and then a scary amount of red blood and clots on the 8th day- even had an emer. ultrasound which turned up nothing. Now its mostly brown with some clots but hopefully ending soon. I have my follow-up appt w/ my ob tomorrow, i'll let you know what she says....but i think we're both normal...it can can last 3-4 weeks even. Sorry if this is TMI.

You might ask your dr for some medicine. After my d&c my dr gave me methergine. It is a drug that contracts your uterus and stops the bleeding. I only bled for a couple days after mine and I think that had a lot to do with it.

I bled for approximately 4 weeks after I delivered my daughter. I didn't have a D&C. The bleeding varied and became lighter towards the end of the 3rd week so maybe it is post delivery bleeding as opposed to your D&C.

I bled for almost 6 wks after I had my MC, I didn't have a D&C. But in that time I had my normal period as well.

Watch your temperature and if it starts to go up please be seen by your MD.
