A Week After A C -Section.. Is This Normal?!?

Question

i had my c section last friday , and after that i had the normal ''bleeding'' , but today its came a little more with a little belly ache, nothing painkiller worthy though...

Answer 1

I had a c-section a little over 5 weeks ago and some days I bleed more then others yes. I never had a belly ache though, the only thing that hurt with me was where they cut me open. Which still is a little sensitive from time to time.

Answer 2

i had the same thing! and its prob going to get worse for a little while

but if something doesn't feel right keep your nurse on speed dial

Answer 3

I had little pains and aches for a good few weeks after my c-section. They were really weird and gave me sort of cold shiver. I think after a c-section you feel it stronger when the womb contracts back to it's former shape than with a v birth. Maybe because of the wound/scar. I'm not sure though, because I only ever had a c.

If any moms who had both can shed some light on this, it would be greatly appreciated :)

btw: congrats on your new baby!
