If you get a c-s, do you still get a period after the birth?

not a dumb question.

I did not have a c-section but I have had several friends who have.

One of my girlfriends only bled a little after her c-section and others had a similar "period" as vaginal deliveries. I guess it is different for everyone!

A friend of mine, he sister had a vaginal delivery and the next one was a csection. She bled just as bad as she did for the vaginal delivery.

I agree that everyone is different in the amount but I am safe to say that everyone bleeds, even after a csection.

Logically my mind says yes since after your LO you need to shed the lining of your uterus even if it was just a c/s. I could be totally wrong though since I have never had a c/s or been told this.

its different for every one. mine was quiet long.about two weeks- first week was a period like flow and then it reduced to light flow (or spotting flow). hope this helps

A lot of this depends on the surgeon performing the c/s. Some surgeons will clean out the lining of the uterus, and some do not because they think it's a necessary part of the body/ reproductive system's recovery.

Yep, you still bleed. I bled off and on for about 4 weeks with both of mine. The first few days was heavy and then it was pretty light.
