Question
I delivered a baby vaginally nine weeks ago and became very anemic from blood loss during delivery. After three weeks of heavy postpartum bleeding the Dr. put me on birth control to stop it. This did not work. The Dr. then did a D and C at six weeks which reduced the bleeding to very light spotting for two and a half more weeks. This week I have started bleeding Very heavy again. I'm not supposed to start my period again until next week. Should I be worried?

Sincerely,
Diane Cheryl
