This may seem like a stupid question...

Mel honey things must be real slow at the office if you're pondering such questions!
Just to say I have no clue, just here for moral support like SamiH! Personally I didn't have a c=sect but my plug was so minimal I certainly wouldn't have noticed it if it came out afterwards....

[myson]

i didnt even notice a plug with either of my pg's. first sign of labour for me was waters breaking both times.... before that ... nothing... so maybe some people have a big plug and some people have a little plug and some people have a medium size plug and .... i wonder if some people have almost no plug???????

yep, things are pretty slow here too today...

I *think* I read somewhere they suction you out a little, and since you had only a small blood loss after, maybe you were "cleaned out" a little???

[aussienic]

I am not sure.. but you know what I have always wondered,,

Why don't they give all the innard bits a good clean out so you don't get PP bleeding at all lol...

like i don't know what they would do but wouldn't you think someone would work something out so us poor in pain new mummies don't need to worry about bleeding

[rufalina]

I was wondering the same thing!!! And I dont know but I *think* I lost mine at some point, about 5 days after the c-sect... TMI WARNING.... I had a large amount of very stringy gross yicky discharge with my lochia, and I assumed it was the plug???

NIC - I think they did suction me out I was all concerned about dealing with bleeding and had virtually none! I think I used about 3 -4 pads and that was me trying to use them since I`d brought the blimmen things

Good question lovely! I never had a show with Izzy before or after, and this time around lost it early on before my c/s but Im assuming that if it hasn't come out, then its "inside" still and would get cleaned up when they take out the placenta etc after bub is out!??? I had blood loss for 6 weeks with Izzy and still have a teeny bit now but that is because of the uterus still shrinking I think!

Yes Nic, I've wondered exactly the same thing too!!!! They're already THERE - may as well complete the job..

Pixie - uh .. yup... conveyancing is VERY slow today... lol

Ohh really Ruf? I didn't get anything - but now am getting really (TMI warning) glooppy sorta discharge when I ovulate - so I was wondering if now its starting to break up.. who knows!!! LOL
