Postpartum
How long did everyone bleed after a c section? I'm just curious due to the fact is I'm 4 days post c section and I'm not bleeding anymore but it could be due to the fact I got nexplanon before I left the hospital.

I’d say it will come back. The wound inside your uterus is huge, as you move around etc it can irritate it and the bleeding starts again. I’m 3 weeks pp and there’s no blood for most of the day, then I’ll get a lot of watery blood in the afternoons and if I’m doing lots of movement. I’m still wearing pads round the clock. Last time with my first baby I think it took around 8 weeks to totally be stopped.
My C-section ended up being September 7th and I’d say I was bleeding minimally at 1 week post op and I’ve been fine for the past week or so with no bleeding. I got an IUD during my surgery.

I’m also day 4 after a c section and bleeding has mostly stopped. I was told that once I’m moving around more the bleeding might pick up again. Not sure 🤷♀️
