While you're healing.

What this stage is actually like
Bleeding after birth carries on for a few weeks, whether you delivered vaginally or by caesarean. It's heaviest in the first days and tapers from there. Most people are unprepared for how much of the early weeks is simply managing that, on very little sleep, while also feeding someone.
Ordinary underwear is the wrong shape for it. Low-rise sits directly on a caesarean scar, and a normal cut lets a maternity pad slide out of place at exactly the moment you least want it to. This is not a complicated product, it's just one that's oddly hard to buy here.
Nothing on this page treats anything. It makes a fortnight less grim. The healing is your body's, and the watching is your midwife's or doctor's.
Please call someone if
You're soaking a pad in under an hour, passing clots bigger than a plum, running a fever, your scar is hot or leaking, or you feel faint. Also if the sadness isn't lifting after a fortnight, that's as real as the bleeding, and as treatable.
