Sex after birth contains blood (not sure if this belongs here)

[dex_millie]

I had sex for the first time after our soon was born (5months ago). And after I went to bathe notice blood spots on my hand from touching down there. Then looked with a mirror and to my horror there was blood basically in the vagina and an almost clot looking type right outside it. I haven't messed w/ it yet because I went to put DS to sleep. But what could that be - could I still have blood that didn't come out after birth. This is scary. I hope it is nothing I have to see a dr. for. Or should I call a dr. right away.

I had a third degree tear (not sure if that will help)

Any thoughts?

do you have any pain? it could be that you are having a period or that you are bleeding from your vaginal tissues when you do some kegels what does it feel like? is there some burning and stinging? or no pain

also what color is the blood and clot( or is part of what you are seeing is a bruise?)

It didn't burn/hurt (even when I pee). I just looked and the cloth is gone. But it seems like in the vagina (close enough to touch w/ quetip) is a small bruise/cut. But what would cause that if I am healed. I guess I should see a dr. Or leave it heal.
