After Pregnancy
9 Answers
I had a baby 7 weeks ago and have bled since. The blood was just like a normal period, but for the last two weeks, it has smelled really really bad. It is brown in colour too. I am having 2 baths a day and it's still smelly. It's the atucal blood that smells. Could this be an infection ort is it normal..
I have my post natal check next week, but just thought i'd ask advice on here first.
Thanks

The smell, however, could mean infection, but it is probably something minor, so don't worry yourself too much. As long as you are not bleeding fresh blood profusely (ie having to change pad every half hour or so), I don't think it could be anything bad. If you are really worried however, don't hesitate to see your GP before your post natal check. Congratulations on your wee bundle! x
