severe vaginal bleeding

severe vaginal bleeding means that you are soaking 1 or 2 pads or tampons in 1 or 2 hours, unless that is normal for you. for most women, passing clots of blood from the vagina and soaking through their usual pads or tampons every hour for 2 or more hours is not normal and is considered severe. if you are pregnant: you may have a gush of blood or pass a clot, but if the bleeding stops, it is not considered severe.
