Period

Hi Everyone!!
I am currently going through my first period post c-section and was wondering if anyone can shed some light on what there’s was like? I am changing my sanitary towel regularly however they are absolutely full and I have leaked through a few times :(

Same as Helen for me ^ but I have friends who said theirs were awful post birth! X

I had my first period last week since my c-section and it was horrific.
I was constantly filling pads too 😫

I just had nt 2nd baby 9 weeks ago and my first period was horrendous i was having to change my pad even twice in the night i am also bleeding again so almost for 9 weeks its driving me mental

It’s honestly awful!! I think I will contact my GP on Tuesday, I have never suffered with this much blood loss before!!

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

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

Worth the wait and pain. Baby girl arrived at 7:15 this am weighing 7lbs 6oz. She is so calm and chill.

Induction or c section?

As a last resort, would you rather be induced or have a planned c section?

Really not liking the thought of being induced from people’s experiences I’ve read!
