Postpartum

How long did everyone bleed after a c section? I'm just curious due to the fact is I'm 4 days post c section and I'm not bleeding anymore but it could be due to the fact I got nexplanon before I left the hospital.

I’m also day 4 after a c section and bleeding has mostly stopped. I was told that once I’m moving around more the bleeding might pick up again. Not sure 🤷‍♀️

I’d say it will come back. The wound inside your uterus is huge, as you move around etc it can irritate it and the bleeding starts again. I’m 3 weeks pp and there’s no blood for most of the day, then I’ll get a lot of watery blood in the afternoons and if I’m doing lots of movement. I’m still wearing pads round the clock. Last time with my first baby I think it took around 8 weeks to totally be stopped.

My C-section ended up being September 7th and I’d say I was bleeding minimally at 1 week post op and I’ve been fine for the past week or so with no bleeding. I got an IUD during my surgery.
