Thread: Worried!!

After you have a baby you can have a period for up to and including 6 weeks.. It should start to be lighter soon!! Congrats on your new baby!!!

I also had a c-section and i had my period for about 5-6 weeks. It is pefectly normal. If it does not start to lessen, then call the doc and see about getting an earlier appointment. I am glad your baby is doing well. Aside from the constant yucky period, how are you doing?

Its called lochia and you have it whether you have a csection or vaginal birth. Its just the uterus going back to normal, it will go away. I had my son the day before you had your daughter and have quit bleeding for about a week now. You will be fine.

HI CRYSTAL!!!! Contratulations! I remember you from awhile back and am sooo glad to see you are back and have a happy healthy little girl!! I'm so happy for you!

The bleeding can last quite awhile, as long as it is not too heavy (filling up a pad in an hour) then is should be alright. But as always, if you are not sure, ask your Dr. It's been about 4 - 5 weeks now, so it should be getting much lighter.

How are you feeling? Sounds like you got really lucky w/ your little girl. What is her name? I'm so sorry you had to go through a long labor, but she's here and that's all that matters!

Again CONGRATULATIONS!

Congrats!! As the others have said, it is normal.

Hello Ladies!

Thank you all so much for your replies. I feel much better now and not worried anymore about this situation. It has gotten lighter a bit so i am hoping it will finish soon. I am so fid up of using pads. Oh, well i surpose it's for the whole 9 months we didn't have our periods hey?

Krobie thanks for your reply and i am doing much better now, a bit tired but that is part of new mom job! Getting used to it now. My babies name is Marta Sofia mostly know by Sofia. I will try and send a photo of her in the Pictures, ok? How are you doing? How is the pregnancy going?

1sttimemom20 - thanks for the reply. You said you had your baby boy the day before mine, you mean the 8th then? How was it and how are you both? Congratulations!!!

Babybaldes - Thankyou for replying and i am doing fine thanks just getting used to being a mommy! Wonderful feeling actually!

Congratulations and don't be worried it is normal

As the others said Crystal what you are experiencing is perfectly normal. Your bleeding should be over or almost over by the time you go for your 6 week check up. Congratulations again and best wishes.

Congratulations on a healthy baby girl!!! I wish you both all the best!!!
