I should have included that in the original post. Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpardum-bleedingmucus#post-2521094 Mon, 11 Apr 2016 08:41:47 +0000 Truth Bombs 2521094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My doc said if I was having anything like that after 12 weeks she wanted me to come back in, so I think you're still good for now. If you're breastfeeding you likely won't have a period for a long time. I didn't get mine back until 8months pp with my daughter. I'm almost 5months pp with my son and still no sign of it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpardum-bleedingmucus#post-2521090 Mon, 11 Apr 2016 08:38:47 +0000 JLC53 2521090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Since everyone was so helpful in my last post, I have another question...</p> <p>I am 9 weeks from my vaginal delivery, no complication and slight tearing (2nd degree). I was bleeding for 1 week after birth (light) and every day from birth it was lighter in color and more of a clear/cloudy mucus discharge. It slowly turned into a greenish/yellow discharge. I still have this greenish/yellowish discharge. It isn't a huge amount, but enough that I still have to wear a light pad 9 weeks postpartum. Anyone else have this? When does it go away?</p> <p>I haven't had a real period yet. There was 3 days where the mucus turned brownish (very light) and now is back to greenish/yellow. Maybe that was a period, but it was not accompanied by any other period symptoms, no cramps, etc...?</p> <p>I saw my OB at my 6 week visit and she said I am still healing and not to worry about the mucus. I wasn't a huge fan of my OB and won't use her again. I felt she was very relaxed about everything and not proactive. For example, I started to have really bad swelling, was super uncomfortable, and had high blood pressure the last month of my pregnancy and she didn't do anything. I complained every appointment and she was very relaxed about it. If I wasn't that far in I would have changed at that point.</p> <p>I guess my question is, is this mucus still at 9 weeks postpartum at all normal? Did anyone else have this and when does it go away? Would you suggest that I see another OB if it doesn't go away soon? </p>
