How long do you usally bleed after a C-section? It's been a week since mine and I fill up my pads…

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?

You can have postpartum bleeding for up to 6 weeks. If you’re filling a pad in less than an hour, call your doctor.

Yeah as long as it’s not in less than an hour I think you’re good

I bled heavily for around 6 weeks with each of mine.

@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..

@laniejay thank you

@mommytok thank you

@pettybetty did you ever have clots ?

@aviannasmommy2018 tons. Large ones too.

@aviannasmommy2018 golf size clots are the dangerous ones. Quarter size is normal after both mu csections ive had those. I do think you should call obs office and speak to your nurse though, just in case. Hell ive been calling mine for the last 4 weeks about anything everything

@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 sounds like a really good idea
