I had an elective cs. full term. I had very little bleeding. No lumps or stuff, just like a medium - light period lasting a few days and then little patches for a couple of weeks.
I had vbac 2nd time and had alot of lochia for weeks. Quite different from the cs.
I always assumed they cleaned that out when they did the surgery but I dnt know for sure where it went?
they do do a fair amount of 'cleaning out' whilst completeing the caesar BUT obviously where your placenta had 'attatched' and then come away it is like a 'wound' as such and of course no matter the amount of 'cleaning etc' done by OB/GYN you are still going to bleed...be it large/small amounts....

I just don't get how some people say they don't bleed after a caesar..of course you do!!!!! (not directing ANY of this to youy salsa..i just used yours as a quote...)
