I had and Emergency CS 17 wks ago. Bleeing post op was not too bad and settled after a few weeks. Last week i thought my period had returned as i started to get spotting and felt weepy, but it never came. i have had a week of spotting which has now stopped. Anyone had similar? i had smear done a few weeksa ago and also swabs as felt had increase in discharge. Swabs were normal which i was surprised at as i am getting plugs of mucus..sorry TMI!!! I feel a little silly asking for advice as im a practice nurse!! but i rarely deal with post-natal women!

4 months, fully bfing too.

Jaqui, that's normal. Particularly common to have one and then nothing for a while. It's your hormones taking a while to settle. A pregnancy and birth makes your hormones crazy.

10 weeks. Stopped breastfeeding at 2 weeks. First period was a bit weird - short and light. Then following month it was back in full effect

Mine came back 3 weeks after an EmCS. Lasted for 2 days. Have had 3 further periods which have lasted no longer than 3 days. Result.
