Hi there I had an elective c section on the 16th January this is my 2nd as had an emergency first time.

Now the past couple of days my ‘loss’ below has gotten quite heavy. Is this normal? I’m on my 3rd pack of pads. I didn’t get it this bad the 1st time round xx

I bled for 6 weeks with my first two c sections and 4 weeks with my third. Are you up and about more now? Mine increased when I was active.

Breastfeeding can cause a bit heavier bleeding. I don't think I bled more the second time round but it definitely went on for longer.

Any pain or bad smells?

I did have pain below to the left of my bellybutton but they scanned me and found nothing so I just have to take pain killers. I am bottle feeding.

Yes more active now but when I’m sitting on the loo is literally just dripping out! Was like this on Tuesday but was ok yesterday now it’s heavy again
