I bled for about 9 weeks after. It would trick me though, it would stop for a day, and then bam, back again the next. And my physical activity level had nothing to do with it. Hope it stops soon!
I bled a lot longer with Cooper than Andrew, but I also had a toddler to cope with too. Wtih A I seriously stopped bleeding before I even left the hospital and with C it was pretty close to the 6 weeks.
When my PP flow wasn't showing any signs up letting up at 8 weeks, my OB ordered an ultrasound, which found that there was still placental tissue in there, so they had to do a DnC to get it out. It wasn't a huge deal, but hopefully that's not the case for you.
Re: PP flow poll...
I *don't* like this. wait this isn't face book. Should I send you a hug instead?
totally "thumbs down".
DH even quoted some movie about "things that bleed for 7 days but don't die". I wanted to punch him in the babymaker.
Yeah Julie, I have an appt next week. I don't think I'm any more active than I was with #1...SADLY...

I should note that my doc said it was normal. Are you BFing? She mentioned something about BFing and hormones sometimes drawing it out.
