With my 1st I was still bleeding very heavily when I went in for my 6 wk check-up. They had to give me meds to make me STOP bleeding. And, I was told not to use tampons until my doctor okayed it. And that wasn't until after my bleeding stopped and I got my regular AF. I know what you mean about the pads though. I always said they felt like a pillow stuck between my legs...LOL
Probably at least 4-6 wks. The more you overdo it, the more you will bleed. Take it easy as much as you can.
No idea on the bleeding, but on the pads I have a recommendation. I feel the same way about them. Try Always Ultra Thin with wings. They are MUCH less bulky.
thanks guys. im just tired of it already! i know i got to skip out on 9 months, but man does it suck!
I was bleeding at my 6 week check up too. You are not supposed to use tampons till after you have your 6 week check up either, but it took me a good year till I felt up to tampons again, good for you to feel so good. I would just stick with the pads and ask your Dr. when you go in, hopefully you won't bleed for much longer, congrats on your little one!
