Periods
Hi everyone!!
Nearly 10 weeks PP after having a C section with my little boy, I bled for around 4/5 weeks after. The bleeding stopped for 3 days and think I then started my first period. I then came on last week for my second period, for 5 days (usual pre pregnancy periods for me)
I came off my period on Thursday and haven’t been bleeding all weekend but just gone to the toilet and soaked through pants and leggings and have blood clots in them. Usually you know when you’ve come on if you know what I mean but I honestly didn’t know I’ve been bleeding.
Anyone else had this? Just worried it’s a late complication

I would call my dr to be sure.
lochia is for several weeks after birth, but i don't know if intermittent is normal, and definitely not soaking through stuff
I would definitely speak with a Dr.
Late complications can happen up to 12 weeks+ after. It's better to be safe than sorry x
If you’re concerned it’s worth speaking to the gp/urgent care (as you are over 6 weeks you’ll no longer be under maternity care).
Your periods the first few months post delivery can be all over the place and the hormonal changes can make them incredibly heavy - my first period was brutal after my eldest. It lasted 12 days and the first few days I was soaking pads way faster than normal but after that first one everything settled again

C section at 37 weeks
Hi everyone. I’ve been advised to go for a planned section at 37 weeks. This is due to a low lying placenta that hasn’t resolved. I don’t mind having another section (it’ll be my second), but worried about any implications on baby. I’ve heard that they’re more likely to experience breathing difficulties after a c section at that stage as opposed to 39/40 weeks. Anyone had a c section at 37 weeks and encountered this, or have a positive story?
