OK...enlighten me. [post c-section question]
I honestly don't know why, but this has been bugging me for a couple weeks:
If you have a c-section, do you still "bleed" like you do from a vaginal birth?
This might be a slightly dumb question...but I have seriously been wondering.

Re: OK...enlighten me. [post c-section question]
Thanks...I figured that a woman would...but then again, I've never exactly asked anyone and you know, since the baby doesn't come through there...
It makes total sense that you would...it just boggled my mind for some reason.

Yeah, a lot of blood...for me anyhow. Then I bled for 6 weeks afterwards, but only heavy in the very beginning...spotting toward the end.

Re: OK...enlighten me. [post c-section question]
Yes the reason you bleed is from the placenta detaching from your uterus. It was once attached and when it comes up it leaves a "wound" on your uterus. So since everyone that gives birth has a placenta that comes out everyone bleeds.

Re: OK...enlighten me. [post c-section question]
From my experience (all c's) you bleed a lot less from a C than you do with a vag delivery. It was never terrible bleeding for me. And from about 3-5 weeks PP it was panty liner time. I don't know if it had to do with them "washing out" my insides or what but it was totally tolerable.

Re: OK...enlighten me. [post c-section question]
Yes, but I hear if you breastfeed, you bleed alot less.

It's funny that you asked this because my best friend thought the same thing. I guess either way we can't win right?? ?
