Miscarriage?

I'm am 7weeks post partum.......On Nov 6/7 I started bleeding light brown, it's gradually become worse, and now it's Nov 16 and I'm still bleeding. It hurts to
Wear tampons, the blood is clotty (but only red clots), I am not cramping at all.

*my normal period last 5days, I normaly never have clots, and I normally have pretty bad cramps.

Is it too late to test to see if this is a miscarriage? Should I go to the doctor? Even though I'm bleeding? Why am I so distruaght, even though this possible pregancy wasn't planned?

I wouldn't wear tampons definitely.  Stick with pads for now. It's not unforeseen that you could have gotten pregnant,  so I'd call your doc just to be on the safe side. And totally normal to feel sad- esp only 7 weeks postpartum.  Your hormones are still a mess! Take it easy mama:)

My Dr said we could have sex after 4 weeks, depends on her pregnancy and dr.

Your periods are going to be different after a baby. Your not even suppose to have sex until 6 weeks after baby is born. You run the risk of infection and post partum complications. If it doesn't let up, call your Dr.

Your much more fertile after a baby. My first two were one year apart to the month. So, it wouldn't be rare if you had gotten pregnant immediately after the birth of your last baby...It's ok to feel sad. You should go you the dr to make sure everything is ok...that's probably best.
