I have been bleeding for three weeks, and over the past few days has got very heavy (bleeding through pads and clothes) and lots of clots (sorry tmi). Went to docs today and have started antibiotics, so fingers crossed.

I remember the suction noise during my c section, not the nicest sound to hear when you know the action is going on inside your body lol

Mine has all but cleared up (2 weeks later) but I do get some lovely 'gushes' when BFing...

I guess they must swab/suction out a lot of stuff when they do a c sect...?

it could be a period. I bled for 4 weeks, had a week off and then had a period, (I knew it was a period because it was so different) and had a period every four weeks since then

Infection is smelly and sometimes has yellow/green bits. I think.

I have an infection, and my bleeding was and still is bright red after a long time, passing big clots, pains in tummy and quite heavy. I had no smell or anything which they say usually comes with an infection, but have had a swab done and definite infection. If u worried milena_woking go to docs, i left it a long time and got more ill than i needed to
