When does the bleeding stop?

[Vickyleigh]

Summer will be 6 weeks old on monday and I am still bleeding! Last week it really slowed down and almost stopped but now it has started up again and seems to be getting heavyish.
I can't see it being my period because I have no period pains at all and it doesn't seem heavy enough to be a period.

I think it was about 4 weeks for me. Do you have your 6 week check soon?

 

[Snuggle]

My bleeding stopped a few days ago

 

[Tangerinedream]

I bled for about 2 and a half weeks, my sister bled for 6 weeks. I think every one is different

 

[Vickyleigh]

I have a 6 week check on monday so I can ask about it then.
I keep getting twinges in my c section wound but from the inside so I hope that hasn't got anything to do with it

 

[Vicki & Nathan]

i was bleeding for about 7 weeks but i did have to have a lot of stitches

it was about 7-8 weeks - I was the same, I thought it had stopped, then it came back for a week or so, then stopped completely.

mine stopped at 4 weeks but it kept coming back a little bit every few days until 6 weeks when it stopped completely. im breast feeding tho i think if ur bottle feeding ur periods come back so it could be ur period if ur not BFing?

I stopped bleeding at 7 weeks.

Everyone's different Vickyleigh, so there's no telling, I do hope it sorts itself out for you soon though You could always ask HV about it when you next see her/him
After Isaac I stopped bleeding at about 2 and a half weeks, so not long, but some women can bleed for months.
