Q: Bleeding alot after giving birth
asked by: jessbrian07 on March 23rd, 2008

After both of my kids were born I had bleeding after I delivered them. They had to give me injections to stop the bleeding. My first born was the worse I had to be given two different kinds of medicine. Now I want to have another one later on this year maybe and I want to know if it would be ok too. I really want another one but Im kind of scared.

Hey,

Couldn't really tell you but perhaps if you pop your question in the "ask doctor" section they may be able to help you better.

It could be that your "clotting factor" is low. You could experience more bleeding then others. About 6 weeks is the normal post birth bleeding cycle. at that time you may pass some clots etc. It may be in your best interest to mention this to your doctor. A D&C may be in order to clean you out. That is no uncommon.

I bled really bad after my 3.....with the 2nd, I required a transfusion...mine were all c sections. Bleeding after childbirth can happen for lots of reasons...size of the baby, if your uterus is contracting back down, etc. I would say that more often then not, I've had to give injections to help the uterus out a bit...or even give some IV pitocin to help stop the bleeding. I would say that if you're that worried about it and if it's been a real problem in the past, to talk to your doctor before getting pregnant. Perhaps in L&D they can be more alert to your history and jump in a little quicker???? Good luck on whatever you decide to do!
