 I had my baby 6wks ago, bled for alittle more than 4wks. Stopped for 2days then started my period. Everything was normal until 3 days ago. I started gushing(sorry tmi) and passing huge clots and the cramps just make you want to die. Anyone have any idea whats going on with me?

just period stuff. nothing to worry about. Mine was like that, too, with my first. Good news is it was way less nasty with #2.

 Probably just period stuff. It sounds EXACTLY like how I bleed after my c-secs....

 I had the same thing after my son. It was horrible...Would go through 1 pad in 10 minutes... They did a d&c on me thinking there was placenta left and there was nothing. My dr, just couldn't figure out what was going on. The only thing they could come up with is maybe part of the uterus ripped when the placenta detached and it was causing bleeding. After I was in and out of the hospital 3 time and 2  of those times I was admitted, it eventually went away on its own...but it did take a few weeks.

uuhg.    I remember that.

It turned out to be normal for me, I was told.    But if you're worried, you can always call and let your doctor/midwife know.

Good luck!
