Hi,

looking for advice from anyone who has possibly experienced this as I can’t seem to find any info online.

I had an emergency c section 7 months ago, recovery been fine slow and steady with no major issues. I’ve been exercising from around 4 months pp after being cleared and feeling ready to with a mixture of all kinds metafit, bums and tums, Pilates etc which have all included ab work.

two days ago I did some ab work and initially afterwords felt slightly sick but didn’t think much of it and went to bed. The next morning I woke up and had a bleed of fresh blood which was thin and not similar to period blood. I have not had a period yet and I am still breastfeeding. I had no similar period symptoms eg cramps, mood swings.

I went to GP and he was convinced it was a period and nothing to do with exercise and said they can change post partum but my gut tells me it’s not due to the type of blood. I’m still bleeding today however it’s not as heavy.

hoping someone has experienced something similar and can shed some light.

thanks in advance

At 7 months post partum it really is most likely a period. The first period after a baby can be very different. It's unlikely you've caused any damage from working out. Everything inside would be healed up by now
