My bleeding went on for weeks after my section. Just when I thought it was getting better it would get worse again the next day.

I bled in and off for almost 6 weeks after mine, it can be normal. It means you're overdoing it and need to rest and let yourself heal.

I think I bled for about 6 weeks afterwards. It was worse after any exercise.

Totally normal! I had the same thing so called my MW and she said that unless the clots become the size of a coin, nothings smells and you're not in pain (no more than you should be after a section) then it's all normal.

I bled on am off until 14 weeks pp.seem to remember at 2 weeks pp passing quite a few clots. Some larger than a coin. I called the birthing centre and they said unless fillingnpads every hour, feeling unwell or passing a clot the size of a dinner plate then not to worry
