After a c-section?

i had a c-section nearly 3 weeks ago.. my docter told me i have a infection due to little clots comin out and smelling bad.. he also said i should not be bleeding this far after a section..

im still bleeding slightly and i now have what looks like brown foul smelly slime coming from my vagina...
anyone have any ideas if this is part of infection or something more serious? and would anyoen have any idea what may be wrogn if im still bleeding slightly??

The smell certainly could be a result of the infection, and the brownish discharge would be in the normal course of things for post delivery bleeding. It's old blood, really old blood, and it is rather clotty and slimy looking. It should taper off to a nasty white/beige in a few days, and from that to nothing. I can't say for the time frame of post delivery bleeding, that rather depends on how well the uterus was swabbed when they peeled out the placenta after delivery. I'd have to go with what the doctor thinks on that. It could also be what you are seeing is retained placenta pieces being shed. If not all the placenta is removed, it can prolong bleeding until it is shed, and it is sometimes nasty smelly stuff. If you are able, try to save a piece in a plastic container, refrigerated or frozen, and take it in to see the doctor. He'll be able to tell what it is for certain, and take things from there. Either way, it's fixable and not all that unusual. If you aren't scheduled to revisit the doctor in the next day or so, you should probably call for an appointment.

I've had two c-sections and don't remember ever having anything like that. I'd be right in your Dr's face looking for solid answers. Don't let him put you off. If you feel something's wrong, don't let it rest until he convinces you otherwise. We know our own bodies and when something's not right, it has a way of letting us know. Trust yourself and push the issue. Infection's can kill and you have a baby that needs you to be there for the long haul. Good luck!

if i was you i would go back to my doctor and find out what is going on. i dont believe that is normal.
