Bleeding after a section

[starshaker]

I was just wondering what is normal. I am 8 days post section and i still havent bled at all

I bled quite a bit post em cs and planned cs. Took over a month for it to die down IIRC.

anybody else?

I had it up to around the 6 weeks both times -the first 5 days way REALLY heavy then after that died down to a normal period then just dribs and drabs for the last couple of weeks

I bled for about 8 weeks,which I think is the upper end of normal.Don't think there was a difference between my EMCS and ELCS.
Maybe ask your HV or midwives if you are still seeing a Midwife?
Sounds unusual to me but I've no idea!

I'm 4 weeks post ELCS - bled like heavy period for 5 days/1 week, then stop/start very light bleeding since then.

MW at hospital said that CS patients tend to bleed less overall than VB patients post-delivery, as they get 'cleaned out' more during the op - but that it could follow more of a 'stop/start' pattern, so not to worry if that happened. Not sure about not bleeding at all,though, sorry.

My bleeding was very much like QT describes with my 2nd ELCS. First ELCS it was just like a period (only a 5 week one!)

With my ELCS, I bled lightly for days rather than weeks. I remember feeling concerned that there was not enough blood!

With no bleeding at all I would probably ask your midwife, just for peace of mind.
