Anyone else still bleed/spot after 5+ weeks?

I am still spotting and bleeding at almost 6w PP.  I EBF and had a c sec.  I guess I just thought by now I woukd finally be done using pads.  I see my OB this coming week so I can talk to her.  Just curious if this is normal as it appears from other posts on here, many of you stopped by 4 wks or so.

Re: Anyone else still bleed/spot after 5+ weeks?

  • I BF but had vaginal delivery.  I bled a couple days past 4 weeks, and then my cycle returned at 6 weeks (a day after starting bc pills...go figure).  It was very light, but needed to wear a pad.  Maybe your cycle is returning as your bleeding ceases?  Your doctor would know for sure, as I do not have information about c-section recovery.

  • I am almost 6 weeks and had a c/c. I still spot on and off. It was the same with my twins until about 6 weeks so I am hoping it stops soon.

    Exactly this! Except my LO is 6 1/2 weeks and I just stopped yesterday. I'm told it's normal

  • I bled till I was 13.5wks PP... It sucked! I was constantly on the go though which I believe had a lot to do with it.

  • i also had a c-section. but 7 weeks after i had my baby i got the IUD and i still havent stoped bleeding.
  • I am 5 weeks today and am still spotting. I dont think it is unusual at all to bleed/spot for 6  weeks.

  • I bled for anywhere from 7-9 weeks post (vag) deliveries w/each of mine.  The first 6+ weeks were actual bleeding, then I would spot.  It lasted much longer than I thought it would.
  • With Alex, I bled/spotted until 10 weeks (he was a c/s).

    With Eddie, also a c/s, I'm just having VERY light spotting now at 6.5 weeks...I think it'll finish up tomorrow or the next day.
