Hi all,
I have been having almost continuous bleeding after delivery. It was there for the first 21 days after delivery. And then, I got periods after 35 days. And now again after 45 days, its as if my periods have started all over again.
Is this normal? I have had a C- Section.
Should I go and consult a gynaec?

Sandhya Viswan replied. Some people get their periods sooner than others. But normally if you are breastfeeding exclusively,periods don' t start.
I had a similar problem with my first born. I was bleeding for around 21 days and it would stop for a week to 10 days and then start all over again. I tried different doctors and different medicines for 5 years before I got a solution. It was due to the hormonal changes and once the doc regulated my cycle things were fine.
After my second, I got my periods only after I stopped breastfeeding. But it started off in the same way (very heavy and more than a week). So the doc gave me something to stop it and I haven' t got my periods after that (it' s been 2 months now). I think my body needs to regulate the cycle. If your periods are normal then I feel there' s nothing to worry. If you find it' s too heavy or too late (which sometimes happens after delivery...cycle changes), see your doc. Archi replied. Renu,

r u feeding exclusively???

bleeding for 45 days is normal after c-sec. besides if u r feeding tghen ur periods would not return so soon. in some cases of breast feeding moms periods dont resume until the baby is weaned off.
