Hi everyone I had my baby girl 19 days ago by c section

It's been keeping doing this even today I had nothing till sorry tmi I done a poop then I had red bleeding

I'm getting so fed up thinking its away then back I'm not doing too much and been resting
Is this normal espically to be red it's not heavy mostly only comes out when I wipe on toliet but worrying me its stopping then coming back like that
Also has anyone taken tranexamic acid to help stop there lochia
All advice be great thanks

Hallo, congrats on the birth of your baby girl.
I had a c section and bled on and off for 11 weeks. Like you, this was to varying degrees, mostly just when I wiped but then I'd have days without. I discussed it with my HV at 7/8 weeks and she'd said it was 'normal' to still have some bleeding. My son had a GP appt at 11 weeks and I mentioned the bleeding (I'm still thinking it's normal). GP said I likely had an infection and prescribed antibiotics. Stopped almost immediately.
If you're at all worried you could maybe chat it over with your HV?

Hiya ! I didn’t take tranexamic acid but I think normal bleeding can last 4-6 weeks. I also had a c section in November and I bled for 10 weeks after n still have occasional spotting. Mines was like u say some days not much then other days proper red blood. I think u just need to wait it out or contact ur GP If ur worried. I was mainly fed up with mine as I am still quite anaemic and don’t have the feckin blood to spare lol x

Very normal through the first couple of months. It comes and goes depending on activity levels I found.

Hello! I had this, my friend was over and I had to change pad after pad. I had no clue why it came back but it was all good. It was back to next to nothing within 2 days. I suppose it's just because it the uterus contracts back to normal slowly.

Quite normal to bleed on and off for up to 6 weeks, as long as it’s not heavy, no clots, and not offensive smelling

I had it probably 2 months so i guess its normal...remember being so fed up wearing pads....

I presume you've checked you haven't got piles?
