Bleeding after baby.....how long?

[carolm]

Hi everyone

Just wondering how long everyone had bleeding for after baby was born?

I'm still having a bit 3 1/2 weeks after and not sure if this is normal or not

Good question I'm wondering the same! Sorry I don't know either. Think its perfectly normal to go on for quite a while but did wonder what the average is. I'm 2 weeks on and don't really get any on a pad but still get it when wiping. X

I was 4 weeks until it totally stopped x

I bled got about 3 weeks but up to 5-6 weeks is normal as long as it dosent get heavier or with bad cramps or smell. It is normal to have a bit some days then mire other days as long as in the grand scheme it's getting lighter eventually.

I bled for 3-4 weeks but not heavy, it was more like a light period x

I was just about to post the same question! I'm coming up to 4 weeks and since my 10 day check ive had some days with just discoloured discharge and others with red blood, but can get by on 1-2 pads a day so it's not heavy. Hope it stops soon!x
