? for MD ... 9.5 wks post partum and spotting.From: Chantal (anonymous@obgyn.net)Wed, 13 Oct 1999 13:57:51 -0500 (CDT)
As the title suggests I am currently 9.5 wks since the birth of my first child. Lochia stopped completely at the end of 7 wks. For past few days, I have had menstrual type spotting mixed with mucous d/c. I assumed that my "fertility' had returned and thought nothing of it on that day. The next day I had severe cramping throughtout the left side of my pelvis, front and back lasting 30 mins. It was not like menstrual cramps, it did feel like the labor type cramps I had experienced, difficulty walking and concentrating. No further episodes since. Today, the spotting has stopped and I am experiencing a slightly yellowish mucous d/c. I have no idea if this is normal or not given that this is my first baby. Some other facts that might be important are that I am breastfeeding exclusively and that I was diagnosed CIN 1 just prior to conceiving my son. My husband and I resumed our intimate relationship yesterday with only very minor discomfort for me and we are using condoms as birth control. I did have a pap test at 6 weeks post partum and have had no word from my practitioner (this usually means all is well). Also I had no tearing or episiotomy at the birth. I feel well except for being tired ( who isn't with an infant?!!), good appetite and walking most days. Physical last week shows no abnormalities. Is this d/c normal? Is it just my menses returning? Should I make another appiontment with my practioner to be examined again? Thanks for any help in advance Chantal
