Hi everyone, i gave birth my beautiful boy 5wks 4days ago. This is my second son. At 4weeks i started my period again which was completky fine, my problem is i havent stopped bleeding! Its been 9days and im not slowing down anytime soon. Im really dramatically worried that it is linked to cervical cancer! This is making me depressed, i cant enjoy time with my new baby because im constantly feeling down worrying and panicking. I cant get a smear due to covid-19. Please please say there is someone who has experienced something similar!?
I can completely relate to your post , I have severe health anxiety and I have thought I've had many cancers , including cervical cancer . I was convinced I had cervical cancer when I was pregnant because I had bleeding ( and a tv programme where a girl had cervical cancer when pregnant) frightened me even more . like you I bleed for about 4 weeks after giving birth , I then had a period which was all over the place , I then went on the pill which cause bleeding all the time , I was so convinced I had cervical cancer because of this bleeding .I've since had a smear test which cam back clear so that fear of cancer has gone . although my fear has mover onto other cancer.
is it possible you could book a smear test to put your mind at rest? it's so horrible having a lovely baby and just constantly worrying about your health :(
Ahhh same! I was booked in to have another smear last year, but due to being pregnant i missed it. Im waiting for this bleed to stop and covid-19 to clear up so i can book a new one! Im currently in bed with 0 motivation and starting to feel depression from it because im still bleeding. My baby, older son and partner are all downstairs i just cant connect with them.
