Question Regarding C-Section

Hello All,

I am on my first and have what is probably a really stupid question, but here it goes. I already know I am getting a c-section and i was wondering do you still bleed heavily after the birth or is that just when you give birth vaginally?

If not what can i expect after a c-section that is different then a vaginal birth (besides recovery of the wound area and passing of gass issues).

Thanks Chat Icon

I had a c/s and not a v-birth yet, so I can't compare, but I did not bleed heavily at all. In fact, I hardly bled, although it was there for like 5 weeks. Just really light.

I had a C and didn't bleed heavily at all , maybe first 2 weeks but after that it was very light and gone sooner then I thought, nurses and the doc told me you don't bleed as much after a C-section and it does stop sooner, but not every body is the same,so you just have to see.

oh and C-section recovery is much more painful and harder then the recovery from a vaginal birth. I don't mean to scare you but you will be in a lot of pain first 2-3 weeks ,and will have some pain for months after.

Re: Question Regarding C-Section

Not for me, I didn't bleed at all after my c-section, very little brown blood came out (sorry TMI) it started to bleed a little more as the days went on, but I also was EBF.

My first AF was a different story, tons of blood came out--lol
