C section - postpartum bruising

My son is just over 4 months and probably the last month or so my hair has been falling out (I know to be normal post partum thing) but my legs keep getting bruised and I don't know how as I'm not hitting them on anything? We're talking like 15 small bruises all over... I massaged my leg the other day as it was sore and this bruised. Is this a common enough thing to happen after having a baby where you bruise easily? I'm breastfeeding and had a Caesarian if that makes any difference to me having this issue???

The hair loss sounds normal enough but I'm not sure about the bruising. Were you given anticoagulant injections (clexane)? Might be worth a check with your gp about it

I did have the injections to take home after but haven't had them since 2 weeks after birth. I'm now 4 months? I'll mention it to my doctor as I didn't think bruising was normal. I'm scared something is wrong with me.

The hair loss is normal. The bruising is not. You should see a dr.
