I used a panty liner and had spotting up to 6 weeks later, but it was barely anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bleeding-after-c-section#post-469644 Sat, 29 Dec 2012 05:06:58 +0000 Sweet T 469644@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bled for 5 weeks. Mine definitely got worse when I was doing too much (which I did a lot of). I noticed being on my feet too much really made it worse. It can't hurt to call your doctor, even if it's just to calm your nerves. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bleeding-after-c-section#post-469370 Fri, 28 Dec 2012 20:41:59 +0000 wheres_c 469370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone. You've reassured me a little. I'll relax and take it a little easier and check with my doc if it is still around in a week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bleeding-after-c-section#post-469289 Fri, 28 Dec 2012 18:56:25 +0000 Ash 469289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We teach moms their bleeding can pick up if they over do it. It's the body's way of saying slow down. I'd day over exertion is the problem. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bleeding-after-c-section#post-469120 Fri, 28 Dec 2012 15:54:20 +0000 LuLu Mom 469120@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bled for maybe 3 weeks until I was compeltely done. It would stop and come back similar to what you are describing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bleeding-after-c-section#post-469114 Fri, 28 Dec 2012 15:50:48 +0000 Boogs 469114@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was about 10-14 days. It would get worse if I pushed myself too hard. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bleeding-after-c-section#post-469100 Fri, 28 Dec 2012 15:44:30 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 469100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>6 weeks, super light most of the time after the first week but occasionally would flare up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bleeding-after-c-section#post-469020 Fri, 28 Dec 2012 15:08:00 +0000 Bao 469020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't have a c-section, but this same exact thing happened to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bleeding-after-c-section#post-469013 Fri, 28 Dec 2012 15:05:00 +0000 BananaPancakes 469013@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>6 weeks. It would get heavier and darker if I pushed myself too hard. I thought it had stopped a few times, as well, and then it would start back up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bleeding-after-c-section#post-469006 Fri, 28 Dec 2012 15:02:53 +0000 autumnlove 469006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bled for 2.5 weeks! :-( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bleeding-after-c-section#post-469000 Fri, 28 Dec 2012 15:01:13 +0000 purrpletulips 469000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't have a c-section but my bleeding did this a couple of times and my OB said it could take 6-8w before bleeding stopped completely. For me the return was often associated with "doing to much" so if I slowed down it would do the same. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bleeding-after-c-section#post-468993 Fri, 28 Dec 2012 14:58:17 +0000 wheres_c 468993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>C-section mamas - how long did you continue to bleed after delivery?</p> <p>I thought my bleeding was finished earlier this week, it slowly tapered off and went from bright red to brown to nothing.</p> <p>Today its bright red again ( no clots though). Wondering if this is normal, if i may have overexherted myself or if i should be worried. </p>
