How long do you usally bleed after a C-section? It's been a week since mine and I fill up my pads still.
@vvrobinson alright thank you! I sure will call. I've only called once and it was about my stitches & am going to about the bleeding and having a UTI possibly from all the antibiotics I had to have from being GBS
@aviannasmommy2018 tons. Large ones too.
@vvrobinson They told me about filling several pads within the hour, but nothing about blood clots. I passed a hudgeee clot the other day it was bigger the a quarter and really thick. I wear the diaper things they gave me and fill them up . I'll feel like im peeing and it'll be lots of blood..
I bled heavily for around 6 weeks with each of mine.
Yeah as long as it’s not in less than an hour I think you’re good
You can have postpartum bleeding for up to 6 weeks. If you’re filling a pad in less than an hour, call your doctor.
Fill up your pad? Like the entire thing is soaked?? Thats not good. You should be bleeding less and less. My first csection i only bled for a week and a half. This time in still bleeding. But its only a few drops or enough to cover the tp but never ends up on the pad. Mostly its annoying. Did they tell you at the hospital to look out for large clots and if you fill several pads in an hour thats a danger sign?
@aviannasmommy2018 sounds like a really good idea
