    I had a baby 9 weeks ago now I have a bright yellow discharge. What is this?

    When I had my 3rd child via C-Section, I was not aware that bleeding can last up to 6-7 weeks. I wish I had a pair of panties then like Vv SkiVvys. They would have really helped during that time. I think my best advice would be, just take it easy. You don't want to do too much too soon.

    Susan, you should see/talk to a doctor or other qualified medical practitioner as soon as possible.

    Kind regards.
