Asking here, because I don't have a great relationship with my CPs and am trying desperately to avoid them till my 6 week check.
I had a c/s on 9/26. I had very little bleeding on day 1, almost none on day 2 & 3. A couple of times the nurses described my uterus as being "boggy" but then when checked by my midwives I was always told it seemed great. Came home, little to no bleeding. Really did very little activity wise because I had a harder time with pain. Pain left and I resumed light activity...walking, loading/unloading the dishwasher, etc. There were a couple of times I lifted something I perhaps shouldn't have...dd in her infant seat, the box of kitty litter at the store...out of desperation or because I just plain forgot.
Well 2 weeks pp, I began to have brown spotting. I feel the occasional gush when I get up, but when I look at my pad it is never really all that much. It is similar to a light period flow wise, and consistently dark brown or brownish red.
I am wondering, is this within the range of normal?? Have I overdone it or is it possible my body just delayed expelling whatever blood there may have been?? My belly has shrunk considerably since this began. TIA for any info!!
