how long after birth,

[Riley's Mommy]

did you bleed.

sorry not a nice question. but Riley is 4weeks old tomorow (it goes so quick ) and im still bleeding.

it isnt very heavy today, but it has been. i didnt think id be getting anything now.

 

[Hellokitty]

About 6 weeks, but it was only very very light. But I think when you have a c-section they hoover most of it out!

 

[Riley's Mommy]

ah thanks hun, thats reassuring. as im still getting some. some days more than others. but i was starting to worry.

thank you

millie is 6 & a half weeks and i'm still a little bit. some days there isnt any at all others is only like normal discharge but streaked with blood (sorry tmi!)

 

6 weeks - heavy blood all the way through, I thought it might have got lighter as the weeks went on but it didn't

 

[Eblinx]

about 4 weeks heavy blood then it went light for a couple of weeks before stopping!

Mine only lasted 2 weeks.

 

[Emmylou]

Mine only lasted a couple of weeks too. Don't worry hun, sounds totally normal, I was told to expect 6-8 weeks

bailey is 4 weeks old and im still bleeding, its very heavy at the moment,

was told yesterday before being disharged that my low blood preasure could be the cause of this constant bleeding.. as it is very heavy they said they would put me on pills to stop the flow but as im breastfeeding i cant have anything, so i have to stick it out.. grr its really annoying, i never bled this long after my other 2.. really hoping it settles down soon!

C section has nothing to do with how much you bleed. I bled for 6 weeks after a c section. I'm sure I read the reason you bleed is because where the placenta comes away it leaves a wound which needs to heal. I think for most people it's about 6 weeks.

 

[Rubys mummy]

Had a c section and bled heavily for 6 weeks too xx

 

[Redshoes]

I only bled for about 2 and a half weeks, but have days where I get a little coloured discharge still.

 

[cloud9]

9 weeks but was told 6 weeks was normal

 

[xHeatherx]

I bled for about 2 weeks. It wasn't as heavy with my first and was actually lighter than a normal period.

 

[Riley's Mommy]

9 weeks but was told 6 weeks was normal

wow poor you, i hope it doesnt last that long for me. its easing off abit now, but it did that once before. then went back to full blown red again
