How long did ya’ll bleed after your c section? I only bled 3 weeks with my first; I’m on week 4 now with no sign of stopping. My vagina and ass are literally RAW from wearing pads. I know you’re not supposed to wear tampons for 6 weeks but my ass is literally bleeding from wearing pads all day every day. Wearing nothing or going free is not an option with a newborn and toddler. Has anyone worn tampons before 6 weeks? This has been the worst part of my postpartum experience. The baby is easy compared to the discomfort and annoyance of postpartum bleeding.
