This will be rather an odd story . ***Forewarning: this is an afterbirth story and will be rather graphic (only sharing to potentially help others in same situation). I am 8 weeks post partum. I had c section and tube removal. After c section I hemorrhaged for 24 hours (almost needed a transfusion, but the doctors gave me 3 different meds that forced uterus contractions and i recovered). Hemhorage was because my uterus wasn't contracting well. Since birth I have been having a heavy, bloated, pinching feeling at my cervix every time I went to the bathroom. 5.5 weeks post partum had a normal gyno visit, which included a normal pap. I am still bleeding lightly at this point. A few days later I start having period cramps, but only at night. I start my period, but it is only heavy when I'm cramping at night (very odd). Cramps stop around 7 weeks, but still period-like bleeding. 7.5 weeks, cramping restarts, but lasts all day, still bleeding, but blood is brown and much less. 8 weeks post partum I receive this tea. I follow directions (steep two teaspoons in boiling water for 10 minutes). Drank at 5 pm. By 11 pm I felt constipated, the urge to go #2, strong uterus pain, and Back pain (heat alleviated the pain a lot, but it was obvious something was wrong). *(Warning-graphic)* Woke up at 10 am the next day and a golf ball sized clot came out. It was an old clot (looked brown and white and was hard). I feel SO MUCH BETTER. The pinching/heavy feeling is gone. I believe my cervix closed before this clot was able to escape (during post partum hemhoraging). That the pinching was the clot, and the "period" I had was my body trying to pass the clot unsuccessfully. This tea made my uterus contract so well (which must have been the pain I was feeling at 11 pm the night prior) that it enabled the clot to push out. My bleeding is red again, but more like spotting now (today us the day the clot came out). I am so surprised that this tea worked so well after only 1 cup. Thanks!
