Sorry if this is a bit tmi, I feel really embarrassed posting this but I would just like to know if anyone else has had this after a c-section?
I had an emergency c-section followed by a blood transfusion with my 5 month old. As expected, I bled for a while after having the baby and the blood smelled strongly and really weird, almost like a 'metalic' smell if that makes any sense at all? Not a usual smell, but not a disgusting smell either. Got tested for infection when mentioned it to doctor and nothing was found. That same strong smell has been present with every period I have had since, and it is very strong.
Can anyone enlighten me on this, is it normal, or have you experienced this yourself?
