A little TMI but..

Is anyone experiencing this awful smell downstairs during post partum?? It's about three weeks after baby, and seriously it smells like something crawled up inside of me and died. I shower and wash every day but it won't go away it's so awful!! How long is this going to last???

    Maybe there is blood or discharge in there? Try taking a bath and see if sitting in the water helps clean it out a little. Also call and mention it to your doctor or a nurse they may ask you to come in just to make sure you're healing properly.

    I would also mention it to your doctor as it could be an infection. I'm 3.5 weeks out from my second c-section and have never experienced that.

    I noticed that mine smelled kinda strange until I passed a huge blot clot.. I didn't hardly bleed other than that, so I'm not really sure what to think.... :-??

    It smells weird but not like horrible so.maybe it's not normal. But I think it smells stronger than period blood. Def not the same.

    I agree that I think it's stronger than period, but then again I can't remember the last time I used a pad - I've always done tampons for years. So the pads plus the fact that it's summer makes it nasty for me. Blech.
