Alright, i just had my baby 2 weeks ago. I bleed up untill now. Now i have this weird goopy almost yelowish clear discharge stuff.
Is that normal?
Sorry that this is so graphic, but i need to know.
And how long will it be before i stop bleeding? I just want an estimate.
Please.. Only people who have HAD children or Doctors answer.

yes its normal and everyday the flow texture and smell may be different. you can have bleeding for up to 6-8 weeks after delivery. it is all normal

OK the goopy yellowy stuff is OK as long as it doesn't present with ANY of the following:
Fever
Cramps (worse than normal period)
Extreme amount of blood (more than 1 pad an hour)
Inability to stand upright.
Extreme smell (signs of infection)
Otherwise you will probably bleed for about 5 weeks. It will taper off alot. To the point where you will barely notice it at the end.
(All of this is information for a vaginal delivery with no stitches... I would imagine there is a different answer for c-sections or lots of stitches)
good luck!

Its normal to bleed up to 6 weeks past your delivery. The discharge could be normal amniotic fluid build up. I just remember towards the end of the bleeding, there was weird stuff. Contact your OB for more info.

Yes it's normal, it'll turn different colors. I had pink goop for weeks. Yellow I'm confused by - if it smells strnage (like infection) call your doctor. But it doesn't do like a normal period and go from red to brown to nothing. Mine was pink to clear for a while.

Yes its normal.
I didnt stop bleeding until 2 days before my 6 week check up. And people say with a c-section you bleed less, that was wrong!!

Well, I bled for about 6 weeks. I don't know about the yellowy clear discharge stuff. Does it smell? It if does, you might have a bacterial vaginosis or something. Call your doc and ask what they think.

You should def. go to your doc. I had pinkish for 4 weeks, never yellow. I think u may have a bacterial infection.

That is not normal, I have had two children both normal vaginal deliveries and I did not have this...it could be nothing but could be something, you should honestly consult your doctor regarding this to be sure your safe!

I never had anything like that but it sounds like an infection I would definitely get to the DR and have it checked...
