I had our son 3 weeks ago , just a few days ago I stopped bleeding and started having the discharge but today I started bleeding again so I'm hoping it goes away again soon!! With our first we waited 5 weeks to have sex with this one we will wait probably till 6 weeks hope this helps
I bled for about 2 1/2 weeks. I had some discharge for another 2 weeks after that. Even with a tear, I was healed up and cleared for sex by my obgyn at 5 weeks. Didn't actually have sex until 6 weeks. It was definitely uncomfortable and honestly it still is. DD is 8 weeks.

Bled for 4.5w, still tinted discharge now at almost 6w.
Sex isn't even a whisper of a thought yet. I tore and I have a bladder prolapse, not to mention sex after DD1 was miserably painful and I didn't even push her out of my vagina. Poor H will be waiting until at least 8w.
I had heavy bleeding for about a week and a half, and then it went to light bleeding/spotting. I am at three weeks pp now, but still wear pads because of the spotting. Emotionally/mentally I'm ready for sex, but I had some minor tearing and so I'm waiting for my six week before trying.
4 weeks since DD's birth and still lightly bleeding mostly from overdoing it but after having three tears in three different places..I'm still slightly sore with my lower back/pelvis area still hurting. Will be waiting for the 6 week pp appointment to see how I'm healing but not in a rush right now to have sex with DH just yet.
I bled for 6 weeks. Like a heavy period for the first week, then a light period until it stopped at 6 weeks. We had sex around 7 weeks, it was fine.
Edited to say that I know I definitely didn't rest like I should have, so I'm sure that prolonged the bleeding. I was back working the next day (self-employed, work from home), and I could tell a difference in the bleeding on the days I rested vs. did too much.
Re: recovery
But anyways - I only had bleeding (real bleeding) for a week. I still have some spotting on occasion, but that's really it.
New Mommy!!!
