The bleeding then stopped abruptly only to re-start the next day. The bleeding is not as heavy as it was but is still very red. I also have gushes of bleeding. It doesn't matter if I am sitting, laying down or walking I will gush. I don't have to be changing positions to do this.

 I HAD BLEEDING FOR FOUR MONTHS AFTER GIVING BIRTH...PART OF MY PLACENTA HAD STAYED INSIDE. MY DOCTOR DID A PRECEDURE THAT CLEANED MY LINING AND THE BLEEDING STOPPED.
GOOD LUCK
