vaginal bleeding with C-section??
I know that during a vaginal birth there is a ton of bleeding afterwards (understandably so), but is there also bleeding after a c-section? I assumed there wouldn't be since the baby isn't delivered from there, but just wanted to make sure.
Thanks!

Yes there is, but supposedly it's not as bad as it would be if you had a vaginal birth.

I bled lightly for about 2 weeks, if that. Then about once a week I bleed for half a day.

Re: vaginal bleeding with C-section??
Your body is still discharging the same materials as it would with a vaginal birth.

Re: vaginal bleeding with C-section??
Lot of bleeding in the beginning...so bring pads with wings. The bleeding stopped at 4-5 weeks.
