C section bleeding?!
Question:
C section bleeding?
I just had a c section on the 22nd and I was trying on a outfit to see if it would fit. It was a little tight so as I was getting ready to take it off I felt like I was peeing on myself when I rushed to the bathroom I had bright red blood gushing out of me. It didnt last very long. Is this something I should worry about?
Answers:
After any type of delivery, vaginal or c-section, you can expect to bleed vaginally off an on for about 6 weeks, because the lining in your uterus still needs to shed. it will be unlike any period you have ever had. what you should keep an eye out for is bleeding that causes you to change your pad and/or tampon every hour for 2-3 hours. also if its accompanied by fever or chills. And for some women even little activity can stimulate gushes so take it easy until your postpartum visit, and as far as trying on clothes, hold off, you'll have plenty of time for that later, :-)
(i'm assuming you meant 6/22 and the blood was from the vagina, ---if from incision see your doctor)
