With DD, it was 7 weeks. I had hoped having a c-section would make it shorter (I don't know why I thought that), but no such luck. The only positive was that it was never really heavy and I only had a few clots at the end.
After DD, I bled for 4 weeks, then I got a break of about 2 weeks, then I started again (I don't think it was AF, as I EBF, and didn't bleed again after that until like 10 months PP
C-section: nurse told me to expect to bleed 4-6 weeks (normal). I believe last time it was about 4 weeks- with the last 10 days or so being quite light.
I was told to expect 4 weeks, but not to worry if it was still happening at 6. Weirdly, I think I'd mind less if there was pain, but just dealing with the blood is so annoying.

I think I'm done as of yesterday. DD is 13 days today. I haven't bled since Tuesday. I stopped doing things around the house constantly like I was. I was warned by my NP at the OB's office.
I just had my DS a week ago on Saturday and mine already slowed down significantly. I'm not wearing pads anymore to air things out down there, but blood does drip out when I am using the bathroom (Sorry, TMI) i was told to expect bleeding for weeks and possibly months. Totally sucks!
Last time I bled steadily for 3 weeks then it came and went for 2 more. I was THISCLOSE to rescheduling my 6 week appt because I was still having bleed days at 5 weeks.
I am 9 days in and much lighter but still going, now. I think BFing has made a WORLD of difference in a lot of ways. My pouch is already way smaller than last time (I dare say I could put on a pair of pre-preg jeans right now...) and my bleeding was still very heavy at a week-ish last time! I am definitely over it but hoping that it will at least be shorter this time...
I bled for almost 6 weeks after DS1. I honestly don't remember after DS2 but I feel like it was a little less. I'm still bleeding now but its only been a week.
