My first bled til after he was 7 mos old was a military baby but they did tests and found I was anemia so put me on 5 iron pills 3 times a day and had keep eating chart had to add meat at least 3 times week. Returned after each pregnancy controlled in 6 wks. Now still have to take vitamins with Iron still have to eat same boundaries most elders do not need Iron as bleeding stopped at 58 but Dr found best I keep taking vit with iron. Please test and discuss with your doctor then keep record of 1 month a year for your records to share with your doctors
I bled for 6 months after having my youngest and my doctor (and 2 others I went to for second and third opinions ) all said that while itās not common, itās not a cause for concern.
It is normal to bleed for 4-6 weeks after child birth

I bled for 9 weeks after my first baby (vaginal) come to find out I had retained placenta and had to have a D&C. I bled a while after my second also but it was just normal bleeding. Didnāt really know when the PP stopped and my period started. But when I needed the D&C I was bleeding HUGE clots. I couldnāt keep a pad for longer than an hour and it was all just clots. But Iām not sure if retained placenta is possible after a section. I donāt think itās so much a āblind sweepā like it is with a vaginal. Just keep a close eye on it and follow up with dr.
Thatās how my first period was after having my son via c section. I stopped bleeding like 1/2-2 weeks after I had my son and started my period 6 wks pp.
Better to be seen then to be sorry, every person is different!
I had my son 7months ago but back in August when I had my period finally its was really heavy and then light and drifted off to spotting and goneā¦but I had huge clots like Iāve never had before that were the size of a goft ball almostā¦ itās normal from what my dr. Says
Its considering PP bleeding up until 10 weeks I believe? As long as your clots arenāt bigger than a quarter itās okay.
