Placenta scab ?

[Lily189]

I'm 5weeks after my c section and my bleeding stopped around week 3 and I was having normal clear discharge
Yesterday I started getting pink staining now its red staining
I was more active last but wasnt doing too much just longer walks
I seen online the placenta scab comes off could this happen this late
I'm breastfeeding too
Really worried this is my bleeding starting again after starting to feel good again

Can you call your Labour Ward for advice?

I'm not sure who I can phone really worried as bleeding had completely stopped

You could be unlucky and it's your period! Or like you say just being more active. However, it's important to get assessed in case it's due to infection. I would try GP first thing tomorrow. If you feel unwell with it (fever, rigors, increased pain) then 111/walk in centre/A&E.

Call the midwife or the gp In the morning

This happened to me, I did tell the midwife but she wasn't concerned. Told me it was because I was becoming more active and that 3 weeks to stop bleeding was actually quite early. I'd call someone just to double check but I think if you've no pain etc you'll be fine. I was breastfeeding too and my period stayed away until I stopped night feeding.

It probably is that you've just been doing more, my bleeding was on and off, I'd have days of hardly any then a bad day again. It also can go on longer than 3 weeks so unless you are feeling unwell/temp etc or pain it probably is just normal bleeding for you xx
