I started bleeding quite heavily yesterday evening having for the last few days had only a little and it more mucus like, this was bright red with some clots (nothing bigger than 10pence piece).

I was a bit scared as it was to the point that I didn't like getting up and feeling it coming out (sorry). The midwife I spoke to went over things and said it might be period coming back!! Even though I'm breast feeding she said it could happen but to monitor and call back if gets heavier. I had retained placenta so concern is if it's anything left behind but I feel generally fine otherwise. It's eased slightly overnight.

Just wondered what other people's experiences were. Thanks x
