bleeding after having a baby - how long ? Posted: 07-17-07 11:53am
So I know you bleed a lot after having a
baby, I was just wondering how long is
normal?
and how much?
I just feel so good and healthy ... but
damn I hate wearing pads.. it makes
everything uncomfortable and they irritate
my stitches!
so I'm just looking for a rough idea of
when this is gonna freakin' end!

Tell me about it! Mika's 17 days old and
i'm still bleeding, not very much though
but it's there. From what my midwife told
me i think the average is 2-3 weeks but
it's can go on for 5-6 depending on the
person and the delivery

its always different, its normally supose
to taper off in 4-5 weeks (red to brown to
pink)
mine lasted 2 1/2 weeks and went srtaight
from red to nothing, a friends lasted 7
weeks so it really all depends
trust me i know how annoying pads are, i
feel you onm that one, i have very
sensitive skin, so i get a rash when i
wear them

Hi
Mine seemed to last a couple of months
but that can also
be quite common for some women, although
it did taper off for a while. You can

It is a nuisance, but it was nice not
having a period for over 9 months!
