Major TMI...Done Bleeding But Gross Discharge

[westbrja]

Ok this is super embarrassing, but my LO is 5 weeks today. She was my 3rd c-section. I only bled for 2-3 weeks with DD1 and DS, but this time is different. I haven't had any bright red blood in a couple weeks but I have been having a smelly yellowish brown discharge. Its enough that I need to wear a pantyliner. I called the OB's office and the nurse said its normal just look for any fever. Has anyone else experienced this after a c-section? Sorry for the graphic details.

haha I had this but I didn't have a c section. Mine didn't stop until I got my period which was like forever... I started taking BC again in the end and that stopped it.

I had this... it smelt like dirty toilets almost turned out to be the pad. Try not wearing one, you might find it isn't as bad as the pad makes it look!

Oh great I breastfeed. Who knows when I'll have another period. I have to walk around smelling like this for MONTHS??!! UGH!!!!
Maybe I'l try going without a pad and see if that helps the smell. I sure hope so, its soooo embarassing.

I felt exactly the same... i was crying all the time because i felt so disgusting. Stupid sanitary towels! It's worth getting a swab just in case if it still causes you problems x

My 6 week pp check is on Friday. I'll be sure to mention it. But its not like they won't notice when I take my undies off and they are poking around down there lmao
