Im 8weeks postpartum after my csection and I have a yellow watery slimy discharge with no odor or pain is that normal. Its getting annoying now its not stopping and its not a heavy flow. Im exclusively breastfeeding with no period yet
@@thanagitlow939 hi good evening apparently its normal for up to 12 weeks its been almost 10 weeks now and it has turned a yellowish to whitish creamy discharge which is just a normal watery flow twice a day. Its tapering of slowly. Oh I also tied my tubes so im not sure if its because of that as well. Ik they said any smelly dicharge and pain to come back. Since mine is just normal with no pain and smell I didn't bother going in.
Ever since I had my baby I’m had a foul smelling Oder. He’s 18 months and it still hasn’t gone away. My doctor did a Pap smear and std and sti test and everything came back negative… could it be lochia?
Do you recommend reusable pads or period underwear? I just read from social media that you shouldn't, since the thickness of lochia kind to stop the flow and because people wouldn't change regularly can build up bacteria causing issues with wounds and stitches.
I personally would not recommend that. Lochia isn't the same as a period and you are at higher risk for infection postpartum. Changing your pads regularly every 2-3 hours is very important to prevent infection.
I am 2 weeks postpartum and occasionally having red urine , got all my urine routine and culture test normal , my gynaecologist says it’s lochia and not to stress ! Just curious to know if anyone has experienced same
Hi I’m 11 days postpartum and I bleed off and on. It’s looks like period blood. It will stop and then come. It doesn’t fill the pad up or anything. It’s just like bright but kind of dark red. Just like period blood. I had a natural vaginal birth. It stopped after 2 days of delivery. Now it’s back of and on. Should I be concerned? Thanks
I’m a first time mom. 6 weeks and 3 days postpartum today. Last week I was at my Alba stage until it started going backwards. I’m now back at serosa stage...I went to the doctor and she gave me a pill to stop it however I’m scared and haven’t taken it as yet. Is it my body still cleaning out or should I really take it to stop it? #ExclusivelyBreastfeeding
A few things come to mind 1. Everyone is different some bleed longer some shorter. 2. Breastfeeding is great because it causes the uterus to contract which should help with expelling the lochia. 3. Normally, when people go backward from alba to serosa it's because they are doing too much too soon and not letting their body rest and heal. 4. I assume what doctor gave you was something to help the uterus contract and expel the lochia, which is fine and shouldn't cause issues. 5. I'm sure they assessed you, but it is important that you distinguish any lochia from any bleeding from your laceration. Bleeding from a laceration will always be red (like rubra) but it is not the same as lochia. Hope that helps.
I had that issue too where I bled for 3 months with two of my kids. First I got a epistomy and my second was a 3rd degree tear. I know the pain you must be feeling. Congrats on your bundle of joy. Try taking cinnamon in tea or any food you prefer it in and some dates too. I also heard that raspberry leaf tea really helps to reduce bleeding. Well the cinnamon is working for me now.
thank you for the video want to ask my baby is 2 weeks and the blood stopped last week but today I experienced pink/ orange discharge is it normal or should I go to the doctor thank you 😊
please, I lost my twins at 3 month on Feb 4, and I refused a D&C , I took some medicine to push them out, the scanshoed no element in the womb, but I started having a very smelly heavy lochia for days, and at Feb 12, the smell got normal but I still still lumps and dark lochia, should I be worried?
So iat 7 days a was almost not bleeding has yellowish and then started having a bit cramping and red blood brownish with yellowish, is not a lot but still should i be concerned.?
I had a c section delivery 54 days ago... I still get some brown discharge specially at morning..sometimes even 3-4 drops of blood while excretion.. Plz reply am worried.☹️
If you are concerned always call your doctor. Some things they might ask, have you gotten your first period yet, are you breastfeeding, is there a foul smell to the discharge?
Just saw this vid. And helps me a lot to understand what's happening to me. I have a 1 month baby and I just have brown discharge today and I thing it's serosa level.. Is it possible to have menstruation already though? Cause my bleeding already stop around 2 weeks after birth and I just have a brown discharge that starts today.
My first baby was normal delivery I bled for 3 days, I had a planned c section 3 weeks ago and everytime i think it's gone,.it's back , it's not bright red but definitely just a lighter red is that normal , I'm completely freaked out ! And when I go to the toliet not a wee , it starts it again is this something to worry about, I'm just too embrassed to ask a midwive or doctor it's so much more than first time and that was a vaginal delivery
@@thatnursingprof2661 thank you I really appreciate your response as I was dreading having to ask someone face to face , I am very active unfortunately as I have other children one with additional needs and my husband is back at work,
@@lovelyangel2442 for some women it can last longer or shorter than the 6 week time frame and that's ok as long as you don't have foul smelling Lochia, blood clots or excessive bleeding.
@@thatnursingprof2661 okay I had my baby on January 18 2022 and I had a c section I bleed for two weeks and now I’m going through this stage is that normal?
@@kenkennicole799 even if you are not actively bleeding you are still at risk for infection for 6 weeks. Change pads every 2-3 hours and call doctor if your discharge smells bad.
I stopped bleeding at around 6 weeks.now am 9 weeks and I saw a bloody discharge just on a random day.vvery little what does that mean. I thought it's my periods starting.Again I am 9 weeks
You can still have spotting that isn't lochia after the 6 weeks. You body is still getting back to normal and if you are breastfeeding or formula feeding there can be differences. If you are concerned I would let your doctor know.
Yes as long as you are ovulating which some people start doing 3 weeks after giving birth. New moms should not have intercourse for 6 weeks after giving birth.
Hi i’m six weeks postpartum and my bleeding has gone to the brownish red stage but I will still every once in a while get a small gush of bright red blood but it’s very little I’m just wondering if that is normal?
This is an important bit of knowledge not only for patient education but for patient safety as well.
So perfect! I'm learning this as we speak in OB!
Oh perfect timing then 🙂
Can you make a video on postpartum assessment/ complications? 😃
@@dmarlesoso sure I'll put it on my list 👍

I think that’s the same thing I have . Did you figure it out ?

You are a wonderful lecturer
Thank you 😊
I just want to say thank you for this.
You are welcome 😊
Great video! Sweet and concise.
Thank you soo much ❤been seeing this in the hospital and I didn’t know the colour changes had names
Thank youuuu for amazing info ❤ Doctor

After 18 months, I don't think so.
Did you ever figure out what it was ?!

No that's normal especially depending on how active you are postpartum.

You are so cute. N the way you teach everything seems easy
Thank you
thank you for the video want to ask my baby is 2 weeks and the blood stopped last week but today I experienced pink/ orange discharge is it normal or should I go to the doctor thank you 😊
It's normal within the 6 weeks postpartum
please, I lost my twins at 3 month on Feb 4, and I refused a D&C , I took some medicine to push them out, the scanshoed no element in the womb, but I started having a very smelly heavy lochia for days, and at Feb 12, the smell got normal but I still still lumps and dark lochia, should I be worried?
You need to be seen by a physician
I'm more than 2 weeks after giving birth and I don't have blood already.but i have a yellow discharge..what I'm gonna do
That's Lochia Alba and that's normal
So iat 7 days a was almost not bleeding has yellowish and then started having a bit cramping and red blood brownish with yellowish, is not a lot but still should i be concerned.?
Not at 7 days that's still very early in the postpartum period. Some people have that for up to 28 days.
I had a c section delivery 54 days ago... I still get some brown discharge specially at morning..sometimes even 3-4 drops of blood while excretion.. Plz reply am worried.☹️
If you are concerned always call your doctor. Some things they might ask, have you gotten your first period yet, are you breastfeeding, is there a foul smell to the discharge?
It almost 40 days passed after delivery... But there is still bleeding... I m worried... What should i do...
That's still within the 6 week time frame. You should see your doctor soon for a follow up and bring up any concerns at that time.
Please my baby is 6months and I'm now seeing yellowish discharge. Can it be Alba because I'm now seeing this yellowish after 6months of delivery.
Likely not Lochia after 6 months. You need to contact your doctor.
Just saw this vid. And helps me a lot to understand what's happening to me. I have a 1 month baby and I just have brown discharge today and I thing it's serosa level.. Is it possible to have menstruation already though? Cause my bleeding already stop around 2 weeks after birth and I just have a brown discharge that starts today.
Brown usually indicates old blood not likely menstruation
how is alpa start at 10 days.. ? when sorsa stay for 27 days? is that mean after sorsa finish the 10 days after that alpa come?
Serosa can last 27 days for some people so Alba would start on day 28 buy most people it doesn't last that long so Alba starts on day 10
My first baby was normal delivery I bled for 3 days, I had a planned c section 3 weeks ago and everytime i think it's gone,.it's back , it's not bright red but definitely just a lighter red is that normal , I'm completely freaked out !

You are still within the 6 week time frame, that's normal. If you are too active during this time you will bleed more, do your best to rest.
@@thatnursingprof2661 thank you I really appreciate your response as I was dreading having to ask someone face to face , I am very active unfortunately as I have other children one with additional needs and my husband is back at work,
I'm 8 weeks postpartum and am still having Alba.... is that normal
It's not common but not necessarily something to worry about. If you had prolonged rubra or serosa then you can have prolonged alba.
@@thatnursingprof2661 okay thanks! I pushed for 2 hours before they had to use the vacuum to help pull my son out.
Hi I'm 9 weeks and I'm still bleeding but light watery bleeding I had pph got treated is it normol?
@@lovelyangel2442 for some women it can last longer or shorter than the 6 week time frame and that's ok as long as you don't have foul smelling Lochia, blood clots or excessive bleeding.
@@thatnursingprof2661 I don't just that the blood was getting brown then I starting to see red blood but light
perfect!
Does it suppose to irritate or make it inch down there ?
Itching can be due to healing but make sure you are rinsing with the spray bottle after you use the bathroom to prevent infection.

what is your name
My baby is turning 9 months. And I have this smelly discharge. And it doesn't go away. Is it normal?
No its not normal at this point. You should call your doctor to let them know.
Can you get pregnant even if you have lochia after giving birth?
Yes as long as you are ovulating which some people start doing 3 weeks after giving birth. New moms should not have intercourse for 6 weeks after giving birth.
Wow!
LOVE U
Hi i’m six weeks postpartum and my bleeding has gone to the brownish red stage but I will still every once in a while get a small gush of bright red blood but it’s very little I’m just wondering if that is normal?
If it's happening when you are very active it's normal. But it does mean you need to rest.
