Spotting 4 weeks PP?

MissionImpossible

TMI alert.  Last week, at 3 weeks PP, I bled heavy for 2 days, then stopped.  Doc said normal.  Now I am spotting lightly--anyone else have this on and off PP bleeding?  How long did it last--and when did AF actually show?  TIA, Jill

I had light bleeding until about 4 weeks pp. Seems like there is lots of variation with some women at 1-2 weeks on one end and others with 2-3 months of bleeding. I'm still waiting for AF (but the average is 6 months for BFing mommas).

I wish I could remember clearly, but I definitely had on and off bleeding until my 6 week appt. AF hasn't returned yet though due to BFing.

i spotted right up to 6 weeks pp with both of mine. af came at 7 weeks pp and 6 weeks pp. yep, back to back bleeding. fun stuff! it does eventually go away--promise!

I think that's totally normal.  I probably missed this but are you breastfeeding?  if you are, then you may not have a period for a very long time.  I still haven't had mine back (although i did ovulate this week for the first time so I would assume I'll be seeing AF in about 14 days) and it's been a year PP.

If you are FF, then your cycles may still be very irregular.  Your body still has a lot of adjusting to do from all teh pregnancy hormones.  And didn't you also say that you had Pre-E?  I have a friend who delivered her baby at 26 weeks like trish did and she said it took her body quite a while to get back to normal.

Mine was heavy for a couple days and then pretty light and stopped and then came back a couple weeks later. And CONGRATS! I am so excited for you. I have missed seeing you and am completely over the moon that you have delivered!  Best wishes!!!
