Bleeding

[Laura_James&Amber]

For those of you who have had a C Section how long did you bleed for afterwards and how long was it until you got your first period?

 

[Mildly]

Still bleeding now a month and a bit on Well it is the brown blood so hopefully I am near the end. No word yet on the first period.

Oh, I did keep doing too much though so the red blood stage kept coming back

Hope you and Amber are doing ok

 

[Laura_James&Amber]

to you and Oscar!

Congrats Laura

I bled for 8 weeks but then I had heavy bleeding so much so I was delayed going up to postnatal ward post section and nearly couldn't go home because of it. Very light the last 2/3 weeks, really annoying stop and start. Hope it's not that long for you

Although I hadn't really thought about having a c section before giving birth, I had just randomly assumed that because they would be taking out the placenta after they'd taken the baby out that it would be a cleaner removal, if you know what I mean, because they could scoop out all the gunk. I'm guessing they don't do that and fom the other answers it seems to be a longer bleed than those who've had a vaginal birth

I think mine might be stopped It seems to have turned into a creamy discharge instead of brown. Hope you don't have it for too long hun And big hugs to you and Amber

Mildy I guess if you think about it, you push it all out with the baby, but it must be harder to scoop it out with a section. That's how I assumed it would work sorry to use the word scoop, couldn't think of any other way to phrase it

ETA just seen you used the word scoop too so thats ok. Really can't think of any other way to phrase it
