Lochia after delivery
by EKBeach, Apr 05, 2008 05:26PM
I had my baby almost 10 weeks ago (on January 29th) and I am having lochia and bleeding. I have charted it for the last week and half and it goes from yellowish one day to bleeding red the next, where I think I'm starting my period. It has been going on like this every other day for the last week. When I do have the red, I have small clots as well, no bigger than pea sized. It seems to me like this should have cleared up by now. I wanted to know if this is normal or if I need to get checked out. Thanks for your help.

Hello,
It is a prolonged amount of time to still be experiencing lochia. You should be seen to have your symptoms investigated.
Best regards,
Dr. Downing
