Does this still happen in c-section?

You know with vaginal birth, when you bleed for a few weeks after the birth, does that also happen if you've had a C-section?

Yes, it does.

Yeah you bleed until your internal placenta wound scabs over and you still need to expel the lining and debris. I didn’t bleed long though, only had pads for a week but I was hoovered out in theatre so minimal stuff to shed xx

Yes! I bled for about 5 weeks I think!

I had c section and a vaginal birth, I bled for both. C section maybe a week longer

I had a c section on Tuesday and I'm bleeding

Yes - bled for 6/7 weeks with my first, and 8/9 weeks with my second

I bled for about 6 weeks but was like a light period

Yeah I bled for about 7/8 weeks. It doesn’t matter how you give birth as it’s to do with the placenta being gone from where it was so there’s a massive wound there that needs to heal x

Yes but it was only like 3 weeks for me 🙂

Yeah you do x

I found I bled a lot longer with a C-section than I did natural x

@Catt congratulations 🎊
