C-sections

Pain / bleeding ?

I had a c-section 14 weeks ago. I had an uncomplicated recovery and felt fairly good by 3 weeks. After my 6-week appt I had a couple of episodes of light bleeding (vaginal), so I saw my OB and had an u/s, which didn't show any abnormalities. Since then I've had 3 more episodes of bleeding. Today I've had some slight pain behind my incision site, and the area right above my incision looks puffy like it might be swollen.

Has anyone had a similar experience? If the pain/swelling contine, I'll call my OB again on Thurs to see what she thinks.

Re: Pain / bleeding ?

  • My recovery was a disaster, but I know that pain/swelling can be caused by overdoing it physically. Even though you are 14 weeks out and your incision is healed on the outside, there is still a lot of healing happening inside. Relax some, and if it isn't better in a few days call your OB.
