Best Answer

After you give birth, either via cesarean birth or a vaginal birth, you will bleed from your vagina. The cause of this bleeding is the healing of the uterus, specifically where the placenta was attached to the uterine wall. As the uterus slowly shrinks back down to nearly it's prepregnancy size in a process called involution, the body expels blood form the wound inside.

Why do you bleed after your birth control patch falls off?

When you're on the birth control patch, the patch provides a constant level of progestin and estrogen. When those hormone levels drop, withdrawal bleeding occurs. That's why you bleed during your pill-free week, and why you may bleed if you have a patch fall off.
