My baby will be 6 weeks old on Friday and I gave birth to her by emergency cesarean section.
Recovery has been pretty rough. This was my 3rd c section and my 7th baby. When she was 2 weeks old I had a suspected infection and took a course of antibiotics.
For the last few days I have been having pain in my abdomen above where my scar is so it isn't that, feels like it is my internal scar. I admit that I had been doing much more last week but my husband had gone back to work so I had been back to my normal routine with 7 children ie school run, cooking, cleaning ect plus looking after a newborn and think I have overdone it.
****TMI WARNING ⚠ TIME****
I wasn't too concerned until last night when I passed a funny looking clot/tissue. It was about the size and length of my little finger and was pinky, white, and a bit red. I had a bit of yellowish mucus following it. It had no smell and I've not had anything since but still having abdominal pain/cramp.
When I first got the pains I thought it was my period returning but then this happened last night. As it has no smell and I don't have a temperature or feel ill I'm wondering if it is an infection or just my body clearing itself out? I know I probably need to go to see my gp but it is difficult to arrange an appointment as my husband is back at work and I have nobody who will take care of my children when I go.
It needs to be a real emergency before I can persuade my husband to try and get time off!
