I had a C-section and I’m still bleeding 3 weeks pp and my tummy still feels bruised

From what I've heard anything up to 6 weeks is normal. I only fully stopped bleeding between 4 and 5

Does anyone else’s stop for a day or so then start again…

@Haleemah yessss mine does. Or sometimes mine will be light one day and heavy another

I’m the same although my tummy doesn’t feel tender

@Haleemah yes 🙌 mine can be like it’s finished then suddenly heavier again

Yes, can take up to 6 weeks to stop. Everyone is different. I'm 2 weeks PP and still bleeding. Wearing sanitary pads for this length of time is becoming annoying! My tummy is no longer tender but my pelvic bones still ache at times, depending on what I'm doing during the day

My midwife told me up to six weeks and then I’ll likely have my first period xx

I’m 4 weeks PP and at 3 was still bleeding and now it’s just a bloody mucus, if ur concerned especially about abdominal tenderness, can always get it checked? Where I am you can still contact maternity triage for first 28 days PP for advice xx

I think mine completely stopped at 4 weeks. Maybe a bit before. Apparently if you’ve done too much your body bleeds more- not sure if that’s true or not.
