karenc - 200 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) yes, you'll definitely be bleeding, so be sure to bring pads and some 'big' underwear to hold the pads. I had an unexpected c-section too - it wasn't fun, but everything's healed up nicely and I feel good. you're going to be just fine :)

KarenVG - 200 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) Yes it is the same as the natural birth and also you will feel the uterus contract, usually mostly when the baby if feeding. I am to have my 3rd c-section this year! Get yourself some of the thickest sanitary towels, pads you can find they will do the job great.

stephandisaac - 200 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I had 2 c-sections. I bled for about 2-3 weeks with both...so yes, you will still need pads :( Sucks I know, but it's all worth it :)

jessicadarling - 200 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) When you receive a csection, as the doctors are the ones who clean you out, you will have a lot less bleeding than women who deliver naturally. I don't believe you will be completely bleeding free but you won't have to go the full 6 weeks like the others
