recovery question

ImThisBabysMom

I'm almost 2 weeks past my c/s. I was down to a panty liner, no cramps, no clots. Yesterday I started bleeding more and had to put s bigger pad on. When I pee, I leave small clots. I am crampy today. Normal? I thought when it started to get better, it wouldn't get worse. Should I call Dr or is this what many others have experienced?

A week and a half is very early on for the bleeding to stop. I would think that kind of bleeding is on par for recovery as your uterus continues to shrink--that's what causes the cramping (and likely the bleeding). Nursing can also cause that as well. I would not be concerned.

Went ahead and called. Said it could be from too much activity or my period started. Only be concerned if it lasts longer than 2 weeks, pain gets intense or bleeding gets very heavy.

Mine dwindled down to almost nothing and it has picked back up. Increase in activity = increase in bleeding.

Mine stopped and started multiple times, just when I would think it was all done it would start again. It stopped finally around 5.5 weeks pp, my son is now 14 weeks.

I bled for a good 6 weeks after my csection. Some days were heavier than others. If you are concerned, it never hurts to call and check in with your Dr.

That is very normal. No need to call the doctor unless the clots are larger or you are filling a pad an hour. My bleeding tapered off and started up again for about 8 weeks.

This just started for me on Friday at 3.5 weeks PP.  It's annoying!  I know I over did it and I think that my bleeding early on was just way too light and too good to be true for it to be almost over.
