Ever since I had my son (4 years ago) my periods have been really heavy. My gyno says this is normal. Today I woke up with so much blood gushing out and my tampon was soaked and had big clots. I know my dr said heavy bleeding can be normal after giving birth, but today seems especially bad. I'm even more worried because I am on vacation away from home. Do I need to go to the hospital? Also I have health anxiety so that doesn't help. I just want to enjoy the last day of vacation but I'm afraid that something is terribly wrong.
