Q: Bleeding after emcs stopped then started again.

hi ladies,

I had an emergency c-section just over 6 weeks ago. My bleeding stopped about a week or so ago but suddenly started agin today.

Bleeding is bright red and not particularly heavy, I'd say lighter than my normal menstrual flow but heavy enough to need to wear a pad. My tummy is also very tender,not where the incision was but across my belly just under my belly button.

Just wondered if anyone had the same thing happen and / or if this was normal or if I've perhaps just been doing a bit much too soon. I wasn't given a lot of information following the procedure so I'm unsure :-/

Hi I had emergency section two weeks ago and my bleeding has been stopping and starting, doctor said its normal and could last for weeks :( I've also found my tummy is more tender the more I do, not just around the wound site.

It's normal I bled for 9 weeks after my emergency c section. My daughter is almost 6 months and every month I now ovulate and have a normal period. It's a lot for the body to go through. :-)
