I had a c-section 17 days ago. i bled for a couple of days then nothing. i started to bleed again yesterday and again today. is this normal?

Not normal: But not unexpected. Wait a little before doing anything.

See your Ob: It is important to see your ob. There could be numerous reasons for bleeding, but ordinarily, if you gave birth recently, and particularly if you are breastfeeding, you should not be menstruating.

Depends on amount: It's normal to have bleeding, of course, after either a vaginal or c-section delivery. But the bleeding will tend to taper down in amount over time. Likewise, the color of the flow will tend to go from red to brownish - or even pink. Often, if a woman 'overdoes it, ' and is on her feet too long or is suddenly more active than usual, the flow will increase. Call your doctor if you are concerned.
