When did you stop bleeding?

Question

I'm 2 weeks PP and haven't stopped yet. I know it's normal but man it sucks. And doesn't smell the greatest. My fiancé says going to the bathroom after me is gross because it smells bad

Answer

Your fiancé is a jerk for saying that, you birthed a human, shit isn't supposed to be unicorns and rainbows down there for a while. Don't worry momma, the bleeding (and smell, which is totally normal, as long as it doesn't smell infected) will go away in a few weeks most likely. I bled for 7 weeks after I had my daughter, but everything healed perfectly. ❤️

Answer

I agree that he is a jerk for saying that! After my emergency csection I could barely get up out of the bed to go (once they took the catheter out). I couldn't wipe myself either because it hurt so much to bend and I had IVs in both hands. My husband had to wipe me. I would apologize to him every time, a billion times because it smelled like blood so bad. He just told me I was silly and that it didn't even smell. I know he lied to me, because I know it did indeed smell. But he wasn't there to make me feel bad, he was there to help me. And make me feel better. Im 3 weeks 3 days postpartum and still bleeding. It stopped for a few days and then started again. It's not a lot, but it's enough for me to still wear a pad (thin one)

Answer

I stopped around 2 weeks. I drank a lot of water, I'm exclusively breastfeeding, and try to take it as easy as possible. I feel like that played a big part in why I stopped bleeding so quickly.
