Sudden heavy bleeding ? Little bit concerned.. :/?!


Question: Sudden heavy bleeding ? Little bit concerned.. :/?
Erm okay, I missed my period that was due last month. But it's kind of normal for me to skip one every now and again.
My periods are normally light to normal.
Today I had really bad cramping (something I never usually get) and my periods come, but its *ridiculously* heavy. I'm getting through a pad every 40-60 minutes.
Why is my period so freaking heavy?
I've never had anything like this and the pain is crazy!! I'm also feeling really faint. I've eaten some sugar and drank today, so I have no idea whats wrong!!

I rang my doctor eariler and she said its normal. But I'm having to change every 40 minutes now, its agony pain and cramping, something I never get! Help !!

Do you think it is possible you could be having a miscarriage? As this does sound a little like you are having those symptoms if the heavy bleeding and pain is out of charactor for you!
That said, periods can be unpredictable. I used to get very bad cramping every month and it wasn't unusual for me to go through a pad in maybe an hour.
As for the feeling faint; it isn't unusual either to pass out during your period, i also had a couple of blackouts that wrong time of the month in my teens.
STill; if you are concerned, get a second opinion or go to a & e.
Good Luck.



Probably because you missed a period last month,
Just keep changing them, get a hot water bottle and some painkillers.
It only lasts a few days, it'll be over before you know it. :)
