So I had my daughter 4 weeks ago, and the past week or so I've been getting these horrible headaches that not even tylonel can relieve at all. Also my bleeding had lightened a ton, to where I was just using a panty liner but now it is real heavy again and I've been reading online about symptoms for things but idk if these can just be normal? I don't have the other symptoms they list... I am also having sharp upper abdominal pains.
when I had my son in 2010 I was put on antibiotics cause they said part of the placenta must not have come out, I mentioned it to the ob I had this time and she said everything was normal from the placenta report, I don't want to seem paranoid but should I make an appt Monday?

 Thankyou! i totally forgot about that, ill call in a sec. And i do have insurance, but when i went into a clinic a while back they tried to say we had to pay out of pocket until we met our 2000 deductable or something idk... i think we just went somewhere that didnt accept our insurance, were new to the area so i dont know where to go yet lol i only know of the hospital, my OBs office and our kids pediatrician, i need to find a clinic that takes my insurance.

Quoting raye-chan:

Lucky! I bled for 8 weeks after my son and then my cycle started up like normal. >.< I thought it would never end D:

But yeah, I agree with the nurses line. I forgot about those xD

Trust your gut hon. It's always better to be safe than sorry




I was bleeding for 6 weeks after my 2nd baby and it was on and off like it was never going to go away. But if you are having sharp ab pains then you should schedule an appt. do you have ins? Because some ins have nurse lines where you can call And talk to or you can go to an emergency clinic which would not be as expensive.

If you know anyone of your friends that has the same insurance, ask them who they go to

I KNOW!!!!!! I'd be all happy not having to use a pad, just simply a liner and my s/o and I would be out somewhere and it'd gush! >.<  My bf thought it was funny xD Until I made him go get me pads from the store LOL

id make an appointment. it can be normal but it can also be a sign of an infection (from part of the placenta not being removed as you said) if u feel like somethings wrong get it checked out. better safe than sorry.
