Three months after you have the baby problem?

Question

I had my baby 3 months ago and I been having a funny discharge after this pregnancy still its a light brownish discharge. But my question is could it b/c I have a uti but I pee fine and it dont burn I just have a funny smell thats it. I have had a uti and bladder infection in the past but I just can't figure out if its just from me having my baby. I do have apt tomarrow but just wanted to ask somone before I went in. Thanks

oh and ever time I go to the bathroom and I wiped there is that brownish dishcharge and smell.

yes I have been working alot of lifting and bending also sex too lol.

I did have another c-section and I also had to get 4 units of blood b/c my uteres didnt start to contract.

Answer 1

Could be nothing. Could be something. Glad you are getting it checked out. It's possible that you have some other form of infection. It is also possible that you had a tear from the birth that didn't heal correctly called a fistula.

Answer 2

The loccia -- discharge after pregnancy -- should stop by about 6 weeks after the birth. If you are breastfeeding, there would be some hormonal reaction, but it should not be brown.

I am glad you have an appointment tomorrow because it sounds like you need a work up for infection and sexually transmitted diseases.

Answer 3

That's normal after you give birth. First it really heavy then it lightens downs then it will be like a brownish discharge the pink then yellow. It will last longer if you are working yourself to hard or if you are having sex.

Answer 4

I don't believe that it is normal for 3 months!!! I had a slight discharge for a few weeks not months. I am glad you are going to get it checked out. I am sure it won't be anything big. Good luck.
