Advice pls - slight bleeding ....

[emmx]

Sorry for the embarrassing subject, just wondered if anyone else had experienced this problem and knew what it was/if I need to get it checked out:

I had a c-section 5 months ago with our first baby. I have healed externally really well, and was up and about the next day after the op. However, ever since the c-section if I "hold my wee" so-to-speak, for longer than I possibly should, when I finally do go to the loo I have slight bloody staining on the loo paper. This only happens when I do this - if I get the urge and go right away then I'm fine. Although, in the early days after the op I had definite reduced sensation in the bladder department - this has now come back, but as I said above there is this other issue.

Any ideas???? Thanks!

Hi emmx - I've had c-sections I don't remember experiencing that. I'm sure it's nothing to worry about (I remember the woman in the bed beside me who also had a cs, having blood in her cathater bag and the nurse explaining to me why and that it was normal, but I'm afraid I can't remember the explanation). But just see your hv/mw/gp for reassurance.

Sorry for vague post, just didn't want you to worry too much.

Hope its going good with the baby and congrats.

Nite.

Aww what a nice reply Haunty - thanks for that. I guess I'm not that worried - it has been going on for 5 mths but was more curious than anything.

Thanks again and night night [: )]
