A member asked:

I had a 911 type c-sec in april of this year. i am still bleeding, like a period. i'm on birth control and still breast feed some. is something wrong?

Hard to say: Worth seeing your doctor about. But one possibility is the birth control. A common side effect of progesterone-only birth control (such as the "mini-pill") is irregular, ongoing bleeding.
