Three weeks post hysterectomy: Spotting

She told me that spotting is okay when the stitches are beginning to dissolve but to watch for bright red blood and spotting that soaks a pad in an hour or less. They worry about you losing too much blood if it gets to that point. Your hospital should have an on-call...if you call your ob's office, it should route your call to them. If you're concerned, call them. They get paid to be there anyway. I hope you get some peace of mind

Glad I saw this I called my on call and yes she did say stitches dissolve and there will be spotting but if its easy bleeding,soaking pads need to go to ER. Unfortunately, she wants me to rest and if it continues heavy I need to go to the ER. So darn mad I hope this doesn't cause a setback in my recovery I was doing so good.
