Post Csection Bleeding ...

Hi everyone. I'm just curious how long you guys bled for after your csection. And yes I mean as in menstrual bleeding.

It's been 9 days for me and sometimes it's really heavy and sometimes there is hardly anything. I have noticed that it's heavier when I've been up trying to straighten up the house or get some things done. My body's way of telling me to stop I guess

I really didn't bleed, after I had my son it was bright but the next day not even in a pad just when I wiped was brownish was like that for a couple of days. But I spotted on and off for like 2-3 weeks. So good luck and no I didn't breastfeed

Yes, my Dr told me to take it easy...quit bending to do laundry in washer and dryer and loading/unloading dishwasher. I had an emergency c section...it was pretty rough

I had my son two weeks ago and my bleeding is really light I think after a c section it's suppose to be less bleeding .

It was 2-3 months for me with my first but like countygirl said I think it was from the depo shot. I won't b getting it this time around.

I Had my daughter via csection 9 days ago that's why I ask. My bleeding is sometimes heavy and sometimes light. Seems to be heavy when I try to do more stuff around the house.

I bled for a month but it wasn't heavy at all. I breastfeed and was told that helps but a month seemed like a long time haha

I bled for maybe 3 weeks. I never had and heavy bleeding either. I think I really lucked out there. I was also breast feeding so I don't know if that made a difference or not. It also took 3 months before I got my period again. Before I got pregnant I had horrible cramps and heavy bleeding every month. Now my periods are light and cramps are not bad at all. And my son is now 6 months.  Hoping it stays that way.  Good luck
