Are you doing too much? I stopped bleeding at about 5 wks pp and found that when I was on my feet more I bled more and bright red. Maybe try to take it easy for a few days
I bled pretty heavy using diaper sized pads for less than a week. Moved to overnight pads for a few days, then down to reg pads at two weeks finally finished off with a week of panty liners. Three weeks in all but probably could've stopped with liners at 2.5 weeks but wanted to be on safe side. No period yet and I'll be at 7 wks PP on Mon.
I had a section and bled for 5 weeks postpartum. I am down to pantiliners at almost 7 weeks PP but it is still not totally over. I still spot a bit here and there. As others said, this is not your period. It is normal to bleed after birth and it can go on for a very long time. Talk to your OB and have him/her check you for retained placenta if you are concerned.

You can say you have your period, it's okay. This isn't your period though.
I bled for 6 weeks. I also had a c section.
