Bleeding after c section
I’m 4 days since my c section and my bleeding is still heavy, bright red, clots now and then but more like 5p size but thick. In hospital I lost a huge golf ball size but midwives saw this etc.
Is it normal to bleed heavy 4/5 days since the c section? After I went a wee earlier it literally ran down my leg and onto the floor.
Sometimes my pad is quite clean, then I wipe and it’s so red and heavy. Sometimes the pad could be heavy but they don’t leak through etc. it’s like stringy type.

You’re most probably going to bleed for a few weeks. Its just whats left in your body leaving.
As long as you don’t get any clots bigger than a 20p or bleeding through multiple pads in a few hours you’re fine.
But if you are worried you can always talk to your midwife or triage. Its what they’re there for.
But based on what you’ve said its totally normal x
