Asked By:iLuvChris3 in Florida

I had a TT 5 weeks ago, woke up bleeding from my belly button which was accompanied by irregular abdominal pain for a couple days now. I've contacted my PS but was only told to see a doctor. There was no type of reassurance/explanation. I did not injure myself, that was the only question she had asked me nor do I really sleep on my stomach. My stomach hurts internally since the bleeding, sharp, mostly aching pains. There's a lot of blood at times, dripping. Is life threatening or what can it be?
