How long do you bleed after a c-section?

Answer 1

Usually about a week - if you are having major cramps or heavy bleeding, please contact your doctor. & if you're waiting for results - pray! everything will be okay - been through it - good luck

Answer 2

* Abdominal Recovery - Complete recovery usually takes four to eight weeks. You will gradually be able to increase your activities. * Vaginal or Laparoscopic Recovery - Most women are able to return to normal activity in one to two weeks

Answer 3

The pain at the incision sites is mild tenderness. It's the after effects of the carbon dioxide gas that was used to inflate the abdomen that's truly bothersome. You'll experience heaviness in the chest where the air rises to the diaphragm, shortness of breath and deferred pain to the sternum, the neck and shouders. This discomfort lasted about 72 hours post-op. Lying down seemed to help but painful if upright.

Answer 4

The rule of thumb for post procedural care and discharge is usually 3 days. However this is dependent on the woman's health post operative, and blood tests, urine output, and BP all need to monitored as well as within acceptable range before discharge. Once discharged the woman is expected to wait approximately 6 weeks before returning to a fully normal lifestyle. Bare in mind this is not concerning the psychological effects of a hysterectomy which may need evaluating as an outpatient during the recovery time and in rare cases beyond.

Answer 5

I had a completely hyst and bleeding after the day of surgery is not normal! You should not bleed after the surgery. There would no longer be a uterus to allow for "normal" menstrual bleeding and there should be packing materials (which the doctor should remove at your follow up appointment) to soak up any surgical blood. Go to the emergency room immediately! If your surgical Dr thinks this is ok then find a new doctor!

Answer 6

You should stop bleeding within days to a week or two. If the bleeding is significant (clots) or lasts longer you should call the doctor that did it.

Answer 7

I had a laparoscopy done to remove a tubal pregnancy, my bleeding lasted approximately 5 days, heavier at times.
