post c section question

How long did you have little spits of bleeding showup after your c section on the incision? My doc called it superficial bleeding at my 6 weeks but didn't say how long it would happen.

I've had 3, and you should not have any bleeding from the incision . I did get dermabond wth this last one and when it fell off there was a very small area that hardly bled but that's it. You may have an infection, or it's not healing properly. You need it checked out

Wow, mine looked healed by the time I was 2 weeks with all 3 of mine. Did they do staples? I had stitches with all mine. I wonder if there's infection inside causing it

Figures I would be an odd duck...lol. its happening 7 weeks pp. I think some of the time its from stretching the incision. Others (like taking a shower) I am clueless.

I have had 2 and that has never happened to me before. Nothing even when they took out the staples, so I don't know. Just watch for signs of infection to be safe, but if your doctor isn't worried then I wouldn't stress too much.

I didn't when they removed the staples either. It's like it is seeping for a better example..but its not constant.

I never did except for maybe 2 days after. I was told any bleeding at the incision is abnormal. I never even bled when they took the staples out.
