If you had a C-Section

Did you start bleeding more when you went home? I was bleeding very, very little at the hospital. I went home yesterday and I've noticed that the bleeding has picked up a little. It's not like, overflowing the pad or anything, and it could just be because I'm more active, but does that sound normal?

The less i did, the less i bled.

But I stopped bleeding at about 2 weeks PP.

Thanks ladies!!  

yea i stopped bleeding about 2/3 weeks too.   x

Yes, and i bled for almost 7 weeks!  

Did you ladies use some sort of belly-tightener thing afterwards to hold everything together?? If so, would you recommend something??

And GloraC- that's awful!!!

Nope. I just used to hold a pillow tight when I sneezed/coughed.

I never did because I didn't know about that untill about 15weeks pp, Maybe if i'd have known i would have so much of an over hang now, lol.
I do recommend using a shower scrub wash on your tummy though, helps tighten things back up.   x

Oh good idea! Can I start doing that right away, or should I wait until the incision heals a little more? I'm 4 days PP.

I started doing it about 2 weeks pp cause of i was scared of making my incision getting.... soggy! lol. I healed really quick though and was glued together instead of stappled or sewed.   xx
