Bleeding advise

Hi ladies
So I’m 2 weeks and 3 days post c section. Bleeding had tapered off and it was next to nothing to the point I stopped wearing pads. Woken up today and bleeding quite a bit of dark red blood. I’m super paranoid that it’s something sinister like an infection or something.
Anyone else had similar and it was fine? I know bleeding can come and go but I haven’t bled this much since the beginning of post partum.
Thanks

Did you do a lot yesterday? I’ve had a couple of days where I’ve had absolutely no bleeding and then the blood comes back the next day if I’ve had a busy day or something my Midwife said it’s just a sign that you may be doing a bit too much whilst still recovering, but I don’t think it’s to worry about. I’ve also hardly had any bleeding after my C-section, was prepared for a prolonged heavy period like bleeding but it’s been quite light throughout save for the odd day x

Exactly what happened to me!

It happened to me too! It kept disappearing and coming back, on and off for about a month!
I also found that if I had done more walking beforehand it was slightly heavier. X

I’m nearly 5 weeks post c section and have this. Had nothing for the past 2 days and this morning have heavier but also haven’t done anything strenuous the last couple of days either. It can be on and off for up to 6 weeks but agree with the above, if you’ve done too much it can also become heavier for a bit x

Thanks ladies this is really reassuring!!

Oh my God, oh my God I hope this is not true!!!! I’m kind of scared

I’ve been throwing up and taking a shit all night!!! I just hope that it’s not what I think it is

Scan needed at 33 weeks

Hi ladies! I just had a midwife appointment (I am 33+5)..the midwife was different to my usual midwife. She's requested I have a scan within 72 hours as she said baby is measuring a little small, however, she did say that it's likely nothing to worry about and it's probably just her measuring me a bit different to my usual midwife. Has anyone else had this? Am a bit worried although babys heartbeat and movements are completely fine.

Finding out gender

Has anyone found out the gender at a private scan at 14 weeks? And has this been accurate?

I found out at 17 with my first but I know a scan place that offers from 14/15 weeks and I’m impatient 😂🥲

normal or infected?

5 weeks post c section , i went at the beginning of the week as my wound had opened completely different area to what’s leaking. was told it didn’t look infected. anyone know if this is normal coming off it, it’s only a little amount at a time

Hi

Hi guys so I’m 25 weeks today and I haven’t felt the baby kick at all yet at the scans she’s moving constantly that it’s hard to get the right measurements my first pregnancy was cryptic so I just want suggestions from one worried mother

Rolling milestone at 5 months - What’s typical ?

Good morning ladies,

My daughter will be 5 months old tomorrow, but there’s still no sign of her rolling. She does tummy time and loves lying on her mat, playing with hanging toys above her and to the sides, but she only lifts her legs and doesn’t seem interested in rolling or moving sideways yet.

Anyone else the same or have your babies already learnt how to roll yet ?

Thank you
