Mom of a 3 yr 7 m old girl3 years ago

Q.

#asktheexperts my postpartum bleeding had turned bright red clots around the 2nd week and had continued to be the same for the next 3 weeks. It looked like a light period. At my check-up last week, my doctor had given me a medicine for 5 days to stop the bleeding. now when the medicine is over, my bleeding has again started and now it looks like my periods have returned as I am having cramps as well. I had a c-section on 7th April. can periods start immediately after the postpartum bleeding?

A. Yes but it does take a break of at least a month you know maybe this is your regular period cycle and see if it continues for more than a minimum of 3 to 5 days then you re-consult your gynaecologist because this weight would be very tricky to give you a correct assessmentWrite Your Answer Here

Q. It's been 39 days since I gave birth to my daughter. I Had Forcep Delivery and Episiotomy done. The Stitches have fallen and wounds are healed. I had bleeding for all these 39 days, first 4 days Heavy, then moderate and lite discharge. Sometimes it would be Bright red along with Clots, mucus and tissues, sometimes pinkish and brown. Last week I almost had no discharge, I felt happy that my postpartum bleeding had finally come to an end. But all of a sudden again bleeding has started heavily, since the last two days. Am using Normal stayfree period pad. I change my napkins every three hours. The bleeding looks bright red, pinkish and brownish all together and it's a lot this time watery along with mucus but no clots. I never had cramps but sometimes while breastfeeding I had mild cramps during these 39 days. Is it normal or should I consult my Gynecologist ? Am getting frustrated and Depressed. Kindly give your valuable suggestions.

Mom of a 8 m old boy

Q. #asktheexpert I need an answer from a gynecologist or other experts only pls!!! I am 8 months postpartum and exclusively breastfeeding. I got my periods for the first time exactly on the 8th month after delivery(C-section). But the flow was medium with no clots and it was a fresh flow and it looked bright red. I bleed for 5 days and it stopped now. my concern is that I have heard the first periods after delivery will be heavy and with clots. So what I experience is normal?
