D&C

So I had a D&C on Friday 16th, they told me everything went well and there was no complications. I’m just writing on here to ask if anyone’s had one before & how long was you bleeding for after? Sorry if it’s tmi.
I had almost stopped bleeding yesterday just a small amount of brown discharge. However last night when I went to the toilet I had started bleeding again bright red & with small clots I have no pain but immediately started to feel faint and dizzy I’m basically just wondering if this is normal. As when I was discharged from hospital they didn’t give me anything or much in the form of aftercare and I’ve never been through this before…

I had one on Tuesday and I was told I could bleed on and off for 2 weeks after.
Also feeling faint a lot but just assumed with the bleeding and reduced activity I’d feel more weak etc

Aw I’m so sorry for your loss hun! Thank you so much for commenting. I did bleed to start off with then it had pretty much stopped and now 8 days after I’ve started bleeding again! But I did go for a walk yesterday and pick my little girl up so maybe it’s because of that! I just panicked and wanted to check if it was normal xx

Thank you, sorry for yours too. It’s horrible isn’t it!
Mine has got a bit worse today after going for a walk yesterday and probably doing too much last night so probably the same for you.
It’s so hard to find answers as everyone recovers so differently and it’s defo a worrying time! Maybe just keep an eye on it today and if you are worried tomorrow give your dr a call x

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!
