Yes, I am also 3 weeks after c-section. Was told that the bleeding can be on and off for the 6 weeks.
I also have red mucusy blood at the moment. Nothing to worry about.

Yes, the bleeding can stop if you rest a lot and start up again as you become more active. Nothing to worry about.

Have a rest though. This happened to me when I went too quickly. Bad things can happen to the scar if you overdo it.

I had this. I think it's quite common. Being active just seems to dislodge more 'stuff'. It stopped at about 6 weeks for me and then two days later, my period came back so that was fun.

It happened to me too. I was doing too much.

If you're otherwise well, no pain, smell or fever, just take it easy and it should ease.

I'm 15 days PP and bleeding more heavily than I was in the first two weeks - bright red etc. I'm sure it's totally normal! Smile

Yep I had this. I bled in various amounts for 6 weeks following c-section. It's your body telling you to take it a bit easier.

In a similar situation at the moment just wanting to find out if all was ok for you ladies? Thanks
