After C Section - Question (maybe TMI)

smfdjo

So I have had a period since I delivered my son last Tuesday.  Well I assume this is a period.  Anyone know how long this lasts?

Also I have some pain above my decision.  Nothing too painful, more sore, could this just be the feelings in my nerves returning or should I be worried?

If you delivered march 5 I did too
Though bleeding after your c section is completely normal and can last for weeks. So I don't think it could be your period.

Also, if you pain is NEAR your incision. It could probably be related. Th

I had my c-section on the 2nd and I am still bleeding. It was moderate but now it's actually lightening up. I was wearing regular pads. Now I'm wearing long panty liners and they seem to be enough. 

I do also feel the tingly numb feeling in

Thank you ladies.

It's not your period, it's called the lochia. All women bleed after birth for a varied amount of time. I bled heavy for a few days, then light for another week and a half. My SIL bled heavily for almost 8 weeks.

Every woman's bleeding following birth is different. Some women bleed heavily for weeks. I was luck enough that my bleeding is so light it is barely noticeable and I just had my c-section on 4 days ago. Pain around the incision is also completely normal.
