Booked in for an ELCS in 3 weeks time and a bit nervous about it. Have a big fear of blood so midwife has put in my birth plan for my uterus to be cleaned as much as possible to reduce the vaginal bleeding afterwards. Is this likely to have any impact at all? The general consensus seems to be that you bleed just as much after a CS as a VB, but I'm not sure how true that is. MW seems to think if they clean my uterus well enough that there will definitely be less bleeding though. Can anyone share their experience and maybe put my mind at rest?! Fully appreciate that any responses may just confirm my fears though!
