Less bleeding with repeat c-section?

colonialbride

For those of you who have had a repeat csection, did you have less bleeding with the second one? TIA!

Not here.  I bled 7 weeks with my first and 8 weeks with my second.

Yes!  I was actually concerned about how little bleeding I had, but the nurse at the hospital said (tmi) the OB had probably just done a good job of "sucking it all out".  Gag.  But after about 2 weeks after c/s #2, all I had was minor spotting.  My bleeding was pretty minor with #1 as well, though, and didn't last longer than 3 weeks.

I bled for 6 weeks with the first, 4 weeks with the 2nd with some spotting for another week, and I have my third on the 10th of July. My recovery was easier the second time around and I am hoping that it isn't hard with this one.

Best of luck

No, I'm almost 3 weeks pp and my bleeding has been heavier this time.

I only bled for 2 weeks total, all 3 times.

My bleeding was very light with both of mine and I am hoping for the same thing this time around.  To quote the pp...they do suction a good bit of it out when you have a c-section.

My first two were the same. I bled normally for around 6 weeks. This time I had problems with bleeding right after surgery. I was given Pitocin and and shot of something to help it stop. After they worked I had very little bleeding. I used pads but would have been fine with just panty liners. This time I only bled for around 4 weeks.

Yes, I had much less bleeding with my RCS.  I think I bled/spotted close to 8 weeks the first time -- yuck!

I had only spotting with my first and med bleeding for 6-7 weeks with my second.
