I thought the same after my first was born. I didn't think it smelled like blood, and it turned out that was all it was (I went to the doctor and that is what she had told me)
Its normal. Itll go away as the bleeding lessens
@mjp0325 how long did it last?
The strong smell...maybe a week or 2. It lightened up as the bleeding lightened up. I was done bleeding around 5-6 weeks.
But that was almost 2 years ago. So I honeatly can say how long it lasted. I just know when I was done bleeding the smell went away.
It's normal I also felt I was a smelly after I got home, I had a cSection as well I only bleed for like 2 weeks though, the smell will go away as time goes by. I recommend u to take regular showers and dry your opening very very well. Let it "breathe" after showers lay in bed with the cut uncovered for couple of minutes.
I had a really bad smell as well but my doctor gave me some antibiotics because it could of been an infection and after i took them everything was fine
I agree with erislandy but be tough with ur doctor because at the of the day is u and ur body suffering. Always make sure and pressure them on checking you otherwise they won't care or notice something is really wrong until it's very serious.
