This may seem like a stupid question...

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!

Mel... can't say I've ever thought about that, but didn't see my plug with either .... Oskar though I'm guessing it would've been when they broke my waters, but Joshua... hmmmmm ...!! Love your brain,

They sort of scrape round under the membranes and placenta with their hands and lift it all out and i would imagine for those who weren't in labour the plug comes out stuck to the outside of the lower portion of the membranes.

FWIW i had a spontaneous labour and a vaginal birth and no-one saw any plug apart from after a sweep 3 days before she was born i saw a small amount of snotty stuff - like the size of my thumbnail...

Well ladies,about silly questions,I always thought if you had a C-section for some reason i didnt think you got bleeding down below!!! So how dumb am I,lol.I asked one of my best friends, but since i had my 5th birth as a C-section i know now,that al that yuky stuff has to go somewhere ay! (PS) Why are we so scared to ask silly questios,lol.

I think we are scared to ask questions cos we don't want people thinking we are stoopid...lol

I'm normally quite intelligent - just don't know much about labour/birth...lol

[Salsa]

ahh, I dont worry about people thinking Im stooopid. You dont learn if you dont ask

I had a c.sect with no labour so Hoobleys discription could explain why I never saw a 'snot ball' or had hardly any lochia bleed etc after.

Pmsl... you say that and then expect my brain not to come up with it's own scenarios??? OMG woman, talk about a HIT and RUN!!!

[sneakysparkle]

I heard somewhere (sorry I know thats vague!) that they have to be quick to get the placenta out after bub is out, because the uterus contracts quite quickly after a c-sect - so maybe they dont have enough time to give you a good clean out?!
