Period flow: I know it seems like a lot of bleeding ,but some periods are just that way. Rest as much as possible, feet elevated. Stay hydrated by drinking lots of water. Seek medical attention if dizzy/light-headed or pass out. If this is a common occurrence, time to see your OB about hormonal regulation.
