Bleeding post C section and gassy tummy

[Pontypine]

Hi there

I had my C section on monday and i am feeling fab (thank god for arnica) but i can't remember what happened following my oher 2 C sections regarding gassy tummy and bleeding?

This was my 3rd section and i wondered how long i would bleed after this one - until today when i have moved around more my bleeding was watery blood, now it's slightly less watery (TMI?). i know it varies from person to person but wondered if the loss is usually more or less with each section?

I also still have my little bloated belly (I know it's only day 4 post op, i am not expecting to be flat as a pancake with a 6 pack - if only!) and was wondering how long that takes to go down?

I'm bottle feeding and my milk "came in" yesterday and my boobs are still HUGE today but not as solid - just incase that info helps?

I am so desperate to wear non maternity trousers!! ha ha!!

Any info greatly received!

Oh gosh, I bled for 6 weeks post section. On day 4 I was still losing big clots.

My tummy started to shrink after about a week when my milk had been in for a couple of days and dd was feeding for long sessions.

Congratulations!

Can't remember about bleeding but I recall I drank a LOT of peppermint cordial to help with the bloating.

Congratulations
