So I bled for probably a week after my csection and it just started up again a few days ago at 2.5 weeks. I don’t remember how long this took to stop last time. I was hoping it would be done by now.

I had a vaginal delivery with DD and I bled for like 3-4 weeks. The last week was all very light but.

sarahh did you recently start being more active? Hopefully the bleeding tapers off soon, but I’ve always spotted for like 5 weeks after a vaginal delivery.

I’m a longer bleeder but bled a little past my pp appointment with both my C section and my vaginal delivery, so at least 6 weeks. I think I was at least something going on for 8 weeks. There would be days without any and then bam!

Also— this is SO different the second time around. I remember feeling so self conscious about how I still looked pregnant, unsure about nursing, etc. It’s all so chill now! 💯 this! H is more chill too which is nice!

My 19 month old has started making theatrical grunting and groaning noises when he bends over to pick things up. I am pretty sure he’s mimicking me. Not cool, kid.

I have been having contractions every 10-12 minutes today. Not that painful, but definitely more than a BH. I REALLY hope this turns into something this time and doesn’t completely stop like it has every other time it’s happened 😩

amesie come on baby!!! I hope it turns into full on labor for you. AFM, were just waiting for the pedi so we can be discharged. Everything else has been ready for us to go home for 2.5 hours. COME ON DOC SHOW UP. It’s snowing a lot here. The roads should be good enough for our drive home though.

pinkcat I like the snoo but so far it isn't quite a miracle worker. He seems to sleep just as well in the mamaroo (which I got for $60 at a consignment sale). I think it is partly because he has his days and nights mixed up. Sorry I didn't answer on Friday. I was in clogged duct hell

sarahh I bled for about 5 or so weeks with DS. The ob told me that was normal and the only real concern was if you were gushing blood or having large clots.

So I guess I’ll keep wearing the diapers. I’m still pretty swollen in my incision area so I’ve been wearing diapers FFFC? I guess I should dig out my post c section underwear from last time but I have a feeling they will be tight which doesn’t sound fun right now

Guys. I've fed E 7 times since midnight!!! He's a hungry little guy. I'm sooo tired. I also gotten projectile peed and pooped on. Pretty explosive Saturday night! oh god my nipples hurt just reading this 🙈 They are in terrible shape. I actually called the pedi because E spat up a reddish brown spit up 3 times and I was worried he was having a health issue. Turns out it was from my bleeding nips. Apparently blood disagrees with babies' tummies.

Your poor nipples 😩 I remember with DD in the beginning days, MH insisting on giving her a bottle every once in a while to give my nipples a break. It certainly helped my sanity and my nipples when all she wanted to do was nurse

With DD1 I couldn’t believe how quickly my nipples were cracked and bleeding and every feeding was excruciating. I gave up after a week, she wasn’t gaining any weight and I was miserable.
Apparently God took pity on me and knock on wood I’ve never dealt with cracked nipples or any issues with my other two in the 28 months combined I spent nursing them. We’ll see if my luck runs out this time. So far so good.

sarahh your c was the day after mine and I am still bleeding. Some days it super light and some it’s heavy. I noticed it’s worse in the morning which is probably from how I am sleeping. I still have swelling too. My actual incision doesn’t hurt but inside of my abdomen, presumably where she closed up my uterus and such, is still very sore. My dr said to expect it to last until at least 6 weeks.

Well, contractions are still coming every 10 min... some are definitely more painful than others. If it stops, I might cry.

My dog is really up my ass all day. She's been following me way more than usual and it's really giving me anxiety at this point. She did this with my DD but she wasn't this far up my ass... I'm 35w on Wednesday so it's still too early for her to show up. Ugh!
