Period

So I had a c section 2 months ago and in that time frame have had what seems to be 2 periods. First one was 2 weeks ago and now all of a sudden it’s happening again. Has anyone had that happen?

Yes!! I had a c-section and that exactly is what happened to me but more constantly. I never stopped bleeding until now, I have no spotting or period like bleeding. I asked my nurse and obgyn they told me that it's normal and that it won't be possible to know if you actually started or period or not because the inside of your uterus is still healing. So I don’t think you should count those as periods, but more like your body still healing that wound.

I’m 10 weeks postpartum emergency C section and just had first period. Very very light and lasted 5 days. I didn’t even bleed day 4 it was so light.

I think it depends on breastfeeding and just your body in general. I breastfed until 8 weeks.

I am 9 weeks postpartum and bled for a little over 6 weeks. I’m exclusively breastfeeding and do not believe I have had a period yet. I had a c section at 41 weeks three days.

Have any of you used tampons? It’s crazy that I didn’t give birth naturally but I’m so scared to put a tampon in

@Katrina Austin I'm scared to and I honestly think it has to do with my attempt to deliver naturaly and how many things they had inside me during that time 🤦‍♂️

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

Period like cramps

Hi
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Midwife check

Can someone remind me when the midwife visits you at home? Is it the day after you’re discharged? And is that the same on the weekend or do they not visit then? Thanks!

Owlet

Anyone else’s owlet pi##ing them off ?!?! It goes off 5/6 a night saying it can’t get a reading and needs a snug fit. My baby is 8 months old so moves a lot. It is driving me insane and I keep end up taking it off!!
