Hello all so I had a baby recently and my healing was going well my stitches fell and I had been feeling great. My lochia was super light and yellow like up until last night. I will say that I was feeling so good that I had sex earlier than I should have, about 4 weeks PP, and I am concerned I hurt myself. We tried having sex in the morning yesterday and I started bleeding heavily like a heavy period by night time and into the whole day Friday. I soaked through only one pad completely. There are blood clots but none are too big. The blood color is a mix of bright red and dark red. I am concerned and unsure if I should go to the hospital? Or wait and see if anything progresses. My OB is closed until Monday which I have a PP follow up appointment.

My temperature is 97.8, heart rate is currently 65bpm at rest. I can’t check my BP right now.

Thank you all for your help. I know I made a mistake having sex too early but I learned my lesson.
