Still Bleeding...

[CestSiBon]

I had my baby on November 12th after an attempted homebirth. Long story short, the midwife was horrible (in the process of filing a report) and I ended up with a c-section and an exhausted uterus. It's been almost 2 months an I'm still bleeding. It went away for a few days, and came back so I thought it may have been my period returning. It stopped again after over a week but then came back again, heavier than before. This was a couple days ago. How long are you supposed to bleed after? Could it be my period again?

With my first I bled for the entire 6 weeks! It would slow down or stop here and there. It was miserable! Are you overdoing it? I know with my second, it didn't last as long but came back full force when I over did it. I would contact your midwife and see what she says...or the ob who did the CSection.

So sorry you are going through this. It is incredibly miserable!

mama. That sounds very traumatic Are you getting enough rest? I had an emotionally traumatic delivery and homelife w/ DD2 and then I was running around like a nut. I bled for 11 weeks straight and then after 28 days af was back even w/ ebf.

I would go get it checked out ...with dd I bleed for 8 weeks and it ended up that I had a teeny tiny piece of placenta left in me that was causing the bleeding

I don't know but in all honesty would go see an Obgyn or at the very least call & talk with a nurse at an Ob office. Just to make sure nothing is going wrong I would not think your period should start & stop then return again so soon...but I am not a dr. so I would call one to be on the safe side kwim?
I have never had a c-section & after all my births it just always slowed down to nothing & I bf so I don't usually start again for about 9 mos or longer.
