Its been 5 weeks and the bleeding comes and goes. I stopped for almost a week then it started back heavier than ever. Now its going away again. Just wondering if this is normal for c section?

    I bled for 6 weeks... sometimes there was a ton of blood, then nothing for days... then spotting. It was crazy and irregular.

    I bled for 2 and got my period at 4 wks. Or maybe I bled for 4 and got my period at 6. Hmm. It was one of the two. It's been 5 years since my first and 2 1/2 since my second, so I'm not 100% positive.

    3 weeks of heavy bleeding and 3 more of moderate to light bleeding. I got my first period 8 months post partum...I breastfed for 11 months, so not sure if that's why it took so long for AF to show up.

    I had a csec on Tuesday and my bleeding has been very minimal.
  • salsabiasalsabia
    @Beautiful_Altar my bleeding was very minimal the first week. Then I started having clots. Keeps going away and coming back.

    I hope i dont get that. The csection was bad enough. I needed a blood transfusion from losing too much blood. My first natural birth was 100 times better.
  • salsabiasalsabia
    @Beautiful_Altar I lost alot blood too. Didn't need a transfusion but was very anemic after. Couldn't remember to take the iron pills after. Felt so weak and tired for weeks. Once I started taking the iron regularly I started feeling better. I've learned that when I rest and take it easy I bleed less. My doc said it was okay to go to gym at 3 weeks but no heavy weights or ab workouts. I went and that's when the bleeding returned and got heavier. I had a preemie and spent 4 1/2 weeks back and forth to nicu carrying milk. I never got to rest like I should have. Take it easy if you can.
