FTM here. I had a c section 12 days ago and had the typical heavy bleeding for a few days afterwards but then it tapered off. Then the last two days I had no bleeding at all. All of a sudden this morning, I felt small gushes... Sorry TMI... and had nearly soaked through the pad. What's your opinion on this? Should I be concerned? TIA
According to my visiting nurse, you should bleed off and on for 6 weeks. It may seem to go completely away for a week, only to come back again for a few days, off and on.

Doc told me the more I'm doing the more I'll bleed, and should tone it down. They also said if I'm soaking through a pad in a short period of time to get to the doctor. Hope this helps - good luck!
