Need Help From Ppl That Have Had Babies. Posted: 02-10-05 15:59pm
I had jay 8 days ago, my bleeding slowed
right down, and went a pinky brown colour,
and now its gone red again. Its also
starting to smell really bad, so im
changing my pad every hour, even though
theres not much blood on my pad after only
an hour.
How long u sposed to bleed for after
giving birth?
My stitches are fine, ive been keeping
them clean, and I have hardly any pain
there at all. But I have this really
really bad pain around mt clitorus, it
feels like im being pinched really really
really hard with nails.
Is this normal, or should I tell the
doc/midwife about it?
If it is normal, how long till im in no
pain?

You can bleed any where form 3 weeks till
9 weeks or even longer!! I only bled for
3 weeks myself. Seeing that you have
pain by your clitoris i'm assuming you
might have some small tears there and
that's why it's hurting like it is. But
the bleeding can stop and end up spotting
and then start up again. Just depends on
the person. :)

Yeah, everything sounds normal. Idk
about the bad smelling part. What do you
mean? For me it was a strange smell, not
like a period smell, but not like foul.
Maybe call and ask, idk if that could be a
sign of infection. I'm assuming not
since you are feeling well otherwise.

Oo I forgets to ask about nappie rash.
She has this tiny lil spot on her bum
which looks real red and sore, and she
whimpers when I touch it.
Im using petrolium jelly on it, but what
else can I use to clear it up, and prevent
it?

Awww. Is it a rash or a cut? You may
need to put something medicated on it.
If it's a rash you can keep doing what
you're doing. If it's a cut they have
other things you can use. I'm not sure
what in your country. Ask baby's doc.

Raw egg white is brilliant for nappy rash
just wipe it in and leave it . I have 6
kids and used it with every one of them.

see you learn something new everyday. I
have never heard of raw egg whites for a
rash..
Btw. If it is still hurting you. I would
just put a call in to them to let them
know what is going on. The smell is
probally just your body cleansing
everything out tissue and etc. Good luck
hun. It does get annoying at times

After my daughter I was bleeding for about
6 weeks and alot of pain around my
stitches. That was 10 yrs. Ago and even
now sometimes where my stitches were I get
irritated and burning.
I always used women's over the counter
yeast infection med. On my daughters
bottom when she had a rash, it really
cleared it up better than any diaper rash
ointment or pet. Jelly...

One thing with the petrolum jelly you have
to make sure its not prickly heat it will
actually hold the heat in and cause it
more pain. My daughter had a really bad
rash I took her to the dr and he wrote her
an rx which didn't help I let her sleep
with no diaper on and then during th day
changed her every hour and it still was
bleeding so my boss told me to try oatmeal
bath by aveeno and it cleared it up
extremely fast!
