How long after your c-section did the bleeding continue.

I bled for 5 weeks total, but the last week was more spotting than anything.

I bled for about 2 weeks. I breastfed and the nurses told me that makes the bleeding stop faster.

I had my babies 4 weeks ago and I'm still bleeding. I passed a huge clot (size of my fist) last week. My OB said it was nothing to worry about as long as I don't pass more or have excessive bleeding (filling a pad an hour). The bleeding now is much slower so I'm hoping it is starting to heal up in there. I think everyone is different and I'm sure it varies for every c-section.  I think my situation may be alittle different because I had twins. Two placental areas to heal.

All my bleeding/spotting stopped at about 4 weeks, maybe a little sooner.  Most of that time it was light brown then turned a little yellow.  Then it disappeared.

w/ ds #1 I bled for 2 wks then nothing for 2 wks and then bled again for 2 wks. af arrived when ds was 3 months old.

w/ ds #2 I bled for 9 days had 4 days of nothing and then spotted for 2 days.

I've heard you can bleed up to 8 wks.

I breastfed and it was about 5 weeks. The last was spotting. Don't be surprised if

you stop and start bleeding again.

I bled for 5 weeks, but after the first couple weeks it was more spotting than anything else.

I stopped at 3 weeks. Then it started back up at 5 and lasted for a week. Started up again at 7 weeks and bled for a week. I'm now 9w4d pp and 4 days into bleeding again. Week 5 and 7 were really heavy bleeding, this time it's not as bad but passed a ton of mucusy gunk/clots this morning so I'm hoping that's a sign this incesant bleeding is on its way out.

I hardly bled for the first two weeks and then it picked up as I was feeling better and being more active (too active, really). I bled for about 6 weeks.

I stopped bleeding less than 2 weeks after having DD.

7 weeks for me..but week 6 was spotting and week 7 was my period!!!!

I BF and had to supplement with high calorie formula for LO... my dr told me it was perfectly normal to have PP bleed for 6-8weeks and then get period after 6 weeks, especially since I wasn't exclusively BF
