I had an unplanned CS to delivery my boy on 10/13, due to complications. I had post delivery bleeding that tapered off about three days ago. I didn't even need a panty liner, it was gone. However, last night, I started bleeding again. It's not all clotted like it was in the beginning, it seems pretty "thin" actually. But, I was concerned over it starting up again.
Anyone else experience this? I'm not one to call my Dr. for every little thing, and I don't know if this is totally a normal thing, or not.
Re: Post CS bleeding
I actually just had a c-section due to complications on 100/20/11 and my doctor told me that the bleeding would start and stop on its on for about 6 weeks. They said it would eventually change color and consistency, but as long as it wasn't heavy or huge clots coming you should be fine.
Hope that helps you!
ditto pp.
I had complications after delivery and needed a D&C. So initially I stopped bleeding within 3 days. And had nothing at all til yesterday. Now I'm having bleeding like what I expected to all along. I think it restarted because I am finally feeling better and doing more things.
Like others said, on and off bleeding is "normal"--I notice on the days I am walking around more or doing more that I bleed more. It's only when the clots are large (like I experienced with my 1st c/s) that it's a red flag and you'd need to see your dr. stat.
