Bleeding: normal or not? Most likely TMI :-)

So after my CS, I bled for about two weeks and then just had some discharge after that. We had sex for the first time after my six week follow-up appt. I started bleeding two days later, some old brownish blood and some red. It lasted about 10 days, light flow but enough to need a pantyliner every day. We had sex for the second time this past weekend and I started bleeding again. Bright red mostly, with some brown. No cramps, no fever, no pain. Should I call about this or is this normal after postpartum sex? Dr. Google was no help.

Re: Bleeding: normal or not? Most likely TMI :-)

  • I have no idea if it is normal, so I am not much help.

    I think that it can't hurt to call the doctor when the office opens in the morning.

    The only thing I could think of was - have you had a period yet? Could it be your period? Just a thought.

  • Yeah I'm wondering the same thing since you had some CM and now bright red bleeding. You wouldn't be the only one BF'ing and getting AF in this group. It seems to he running rampant lately. I wouldn't say it has anything to so with PP sex especially since you had a CS. I'm betting AF.

  • Hum. I originally thought AF too. But to have a second period less two weeks later seems unlikely, doesn't it? And I have pcos and pre pregnancy my shortest cycle was around 30 days (of course, I know this can change).

  • I would probably call considering it happened twice. I had pp bleeding right up to my six week appointment (light, but still), but nothing at all after that.

  • I would call, just to be safe. I had a vaginal delivery and I never bled after pp sex.

  • Thanks ladies. I called and made an appointment!

  • i'm wondering if the first bleed was still PP bleeding, possibly brought on by a bit too much activity.
