    Postpartum bleeding after 8 weeks
    After the delivery of my first child the placenta did not come out and they gave me a D&C. Two weeks later I was in excruciating pain so I went to the ER only to find out I still had placenta left in me so I had another emergency D&C. It's been 6 weeks since the last D&C. I'm still experiencing bleeding & cramps although I am breast-feeding, but I do not know if this is normal. Is the bleeding & cramps normal after 8 weeks?
