Well, then, let me think. I believe I said, "For a couple of weeks after the baby is born, I'm going to have some bleeding. It won't be because I'm hurt - it will be leftover blood coming out of my uterus. I'll wear pads in my underpants to catch the blood. It won't hurt me when I bleed."
Then she asked, "What if the blood comes from the middle of your uterus?", and I explained that whichever part of my uterus the blood comes from, it will all come out through my vagina.
It was helpful to have the time from checking out to getting in the car, to figure out what I wanted to say. She hasn't noticed anything about menstruation yet, so the only context she has for blood is injury.
