PP bleeding after c-section?

shannon07

I had my son 14 days ago and I am pretty much not bleeding at all anymore, just wearing a pantyliner really. While I am not complaining I was just wondering if this is normal.  I did have a c-section which I have heard you may bleed less b/c they are able to "clean you out better" (other people's words not mine). Just wondering for those that have had a c-section, how long were you bleeding for?

I stopped bleeding at about 2 weeks after, but then it came back sporadically, especially if I walked a lot and finally stopped alltogether at 4 weeks

I had the same experience -at two weeks I just needed a pantyliner and now at 3 weekes I am done bleeding completely. I heard the same thing about being cleaned out well.

The bleeding started to slow down around the second week but unfortunately it came back heavy the next week.  It is finally starting to slow down again.  I'm hoping it will stop completely soon.

Almost 6 weeks but there were times when it would go away for a little bit and I thought I was done but then it came back.

Mine really lightened up after a few days, I'm at 2 wks now and don't bleed all the time but after nursing or higher activity I have been bleeding very heavily, but only for a minute.  Not what I expected but will take it.

I only bled for 4 days after my c-section with DD.  I bled for less than 2 wks after DS.

I had my baby on Sunday evening November 22nd and I hardly have any bleeding. Far less than a regular period. I was told this is normal.

bled for about 10 days and had the afterbirth dischargish stuff for 6 weeks before I didn't wear a pantyliner anymore.
