Bleeding

How long do we bleed for after a c section? This is my second elective one and I’m bleeding heavy, period pains etc, I’m only day 4 but I don’t remember bleeding this long with my first, only a day.

I bled for 9 weeks after my first and 7 weeks after my second. It’s completely normal to bleed for up to 8 weeks

Yes during a c section they usually give a drug which helps your uterus contract back to normal size it could be this? Xx

I have had 3 sections and they vary between 4-8 weeks of bleeding I was very heavy with my 3rd one I had to wear maternity nickers but it would some days be heavy then other days not so much

You can bleed for 6 weeks straight after a section. I bled for 6 weeks after both of mine, some days it will be very light then come back again

What kind of support would have helped you most during your postpartum period?

I would like to become a postpartum doula and i’m interested in finding out what support people would have wanted during postpartum or even what would have wanted from their village/support system. Every mums’ needs are different and I wonder what support would have made a difference in your postpartum journey . For example, I needed support housework and it can be as simple as help with changing bedsheets or watching my toddler whilst I focus on my baby or even be able to just have a nice hot tea with no interruption. Sometimes just having that extra pair of hands can make all the difference.

The polls are limited so if there are other ways your support system or even a doula could have helped please add it in the comment section.

Thank you. ☺️

36 weeks 3 days

Is it normal to feel less movements?? I feel them, but they aren’t as often & not as strong…I was just in the hospital for dehydration & heart rate & movement were great..I’m nervous to be “that” mom who keeps coming in
