Bleeding after c-section - how long - Page 2

nataliecn · Jun 17th, 2009, 17:36 PM

My lochia ended exactly at 5 weeks, but throughout the last 2-3 weeks it was spotty and on and off! Wasn't a constant!

I lost 700mls on my notes and am slighlty aneamic (9. odd) - I dont think 700mls is a lot though - 2 1/2 cans worth?
Mine has just started getting heavier, it resembles a proper period right now from being that rusty colour, and I am on day 8 post c-section.
I was told it wouldnt last as long as vaginal birth is all I know.

Im on day 12 and still have bright red blood though only when I go to the toilet not in between. I have been told to expect it for up to 6 weeks but thats all they have said. Take care

Our son is nearly 3 weeks now and I still have bleeding and even clots every now & then... I'm just hoping it won't last for too much longer...

now onto day 16/17 and still bleeding but it's kind of mustard coloured now and very watery. Feels like coming to the end of it but I always speak too soon on these things!

My bleeding stopped completely at 2 weeks 1 day, so hopefully not much longer for you now, take care

I bled for nine weeks after my section, was on iron tablets due to blood loss so not sure if this affects it in any way!!!

Then again I had complete placenta praevia so not sure if this would affect how long lochia lasts for!!

I reckon its different for every women and every pregnancy, but if you are ever worried about anything contact your health visitor just to put your mind at rest x
