Okay this is super TMI but I'm a little over 2 weeks postpartum and my bleeding smells TERRIBLE. I'm probably going to call my doctor in case it's an infection, but did anyone have awful smelling bleeding and just have it be normal?

@ciraclesmiracle, that's good to hear! I tore a little and the doctor told me I'd only need one stitch, but it wouldn't hold and I ended up with so many she lost count. Between that and the catheter, I'm still pretty sore and a little swollen😭 My boobs aren't feeling great either, my son seems to be going through a growth spurt and he's eating like crazy!
@emilye, yeah, it's really gross. I was prepared for childbirth, but wasn't prepared for how horrible and disgusting everything is for several weeks afterwards. I will say that week 2 pp was the absolute worst. My vagina was killing me, the bleeding was horrible and my boobs were so painful. It got wayyyyy better after week 3.
@ciraclesmiracle, @jlf240, @lexpalma, thank you for answering! I feel like the problem is more just me thinking it's worse than it is, I always feel like I can smell my period too. I knew I would obviously bleed postpartum, but I never imagined it smelling so bad.
Sounds like lochia. I wasn't told anything about lochia during my pregnancy or after I had my baby so when I experienced it I freaked out, i had it at about 2 weeks PP as well.
Yep. Lochia smells like dead things. It's totally normal.
Mine definitely didn't smell great. Lochia (pp bleeding) has an odor, that's normal, but if it's very strong it could be a sign of infection.
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Short Luteal Phase?
I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.
??????October 2018 babies??????
Congratulations to everyone who have received their bfp!

Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
@emilye, I only needed a few stitches for a first degree tear, but--man--they still hurt so bad! I sat on a neck pillow for a couple weeks to keep the pressure off. My son cluster fed for his first few weeks too. It was hard not to feel depressed because my body felt so bad... however, all of a sudden around 3.5 weeks or so I turned a corner and felt sooooo much better. Sending you lots of good thoughts for quick healing!
