    If you're ever concerned about the bleeding PLEASE see your health care professional as you could be getting or have an infection. I had an infection after giving birth to my daughter by csect.. my bleeding stopped completely after about 8/9 days and then came back very heavily day 12.. I was admitted to hospital and put on an IV to fight it off. Whats normal for one person might not be normal for another so if you're concerned pleaseeee see a doctor or even get yourself to hospital.. for me,I called nurse on call about it and was told to get myself to hospital straight away, I didnt have to wait at all when I arrived at emergency I was rushed in and put on the IV. I was sent home on strong antibiotics and thankfully had no problems after that but it wasnt a good experience!

    I thought I was the only one that was concerned but from what I can see i am not alone. Can't remember how I bled after first c-section but DP said I bled for a few weeks although I do know by the time I had my six wek check up it had stopped. This time mine has stopped and started so many times I have lost count although it it very light flow when I am bleeding. Sometimes it is bright red and other times it is dark red which I presume is old blood.
