I agree with the previous poster: my post op instructions also said to
call the doctor immediately if soaking a pad every 2 hours. The risk is
that you have a complication from surgery. Does your GYN practice not
have someone on call over the weekend? If not, I would go to the ED
immediately. Good luck.
