Postpartum bleeding

abalhawk2009

Just had my first bundle of joy 16 days ago. Two days ago I noticed I wasn't bleeding any more. It would be really awesome not to have to wear a maxi pad anymore but I'm not sure if bleeding might start back up. How long after a vaginal delivery did you bleed and did it start and stop or once it stopped you were done. TIA

I'll be 4 weeks PP on Saturday. I stopped bleeding this week (3 weeks) and have since stopped wearing pads. I do still have discharge so I've been wearing liners this week.

With both I wore a pad for about 3w and then a pantiliner the 4th week. I wore each longer than needed but I was nervous about starting and stopping. I didn't at all though--just gradually got lighter. So I would say I was bleeding for 2.5w and then spotted for about a week after that.

Mine stopped around 3.5 weeks, but after the bleeding stopped I had a lot of discharge so I still wore a liner.  Bleeding did come back around 4-5 weeks pp but it didn't stay for long.

I bled pretty lightly and spotted until about 2.5 weeks. The last few days I've had barely any spotting so I quit wearing pads. Hopefully it won't start again!
