spotting after two days after CS?

I had lots of bleeding after my CS two days ago until today.  I had a couple big clots and then I've been barely spotting...the nurses don't seem to be concerned but I find it odd...normal?

    Completely normal. You will most likely go through periods where there is heavier bleeding and then little to none for a while depending on how active you are through out the day.

    Same here. I mostly had spotting with random days of red flow (2.5 weeks pp now). I think it's normal, though I'm also surprised that I haven't had more bleeding.

    The bleeding will come and go. Don't throw away those maxi pads yet.

    This.  Keep in mind, with a c/s, they're suctioning out amniotic fluid, etc, and the doc actually does a pretty good job of cleaning out the uterus while they're in there.  C/S moms typically have a lot less bleeding than vaginal birth moms as a result.  When you're having a "lazy" day where you just sit on the couch or hospital bed, etc, your bleeding will be pretty light, but it will increase on more active days. With DS, I had some bleeding/spotting on and off for about a month after he was born, maybe a bit longer.

    Normal. It definitely fluctuated with DD. you'll especially know when you're doing too much thanks to extra cramping and bleeding. Drink some water and put your feet up!

    I hardly bled at all with my CS. I had expected a lot worse. I had heavy duty pads ready, but all I needed was a liner.

    Like pp have said, the bleeding kind of ebbs and flows. I am almost 5 weeks pp and I still occasionally spot, usually when I over do it. As long as you're not having clots pass larger than a golf ball you are probably a-ok.

    Very normal. I asked my nurses about it because I was very surprised at how light the bleeding was and they said the same as pp, with a c-section they do clean you out and bleeding is often much more minimal than a vaginial delievery.

    But yes just keep in mind that active days you"ll most likely have some heavier bleeding, and that's normal too!

    I did that too. It stopped then came back. It happened many times. I finally quit bleeding 4 weeks pp then yesterday started getting period like cramps.
