A member asked:
What to do if i had a c-section 9 weeks ago and got put on iron pills is it normal to still be bleeding?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not normal: Bleeding 9 weeks after a c/section is not normal. Taking iron pills will help make up for the loss of iron from the bleeding, but will not stop the bleeding. The cause of the bleeding ought to be investigated by an obstetrician/gynecologist.
