i had my baby 2 years ago and i bled for 3
and half weeks. it ranges from person to
person, also depending on your delivery.
if there were any tears or stitches your
going to bleed longer. Also breastfeeding
helps bring your uterus down to size so
your bleeding will be reduced.

OH MY GOODNESS!!! WHY DID I HAVE TO READ
THIS?? I am due to give birth in a couple
of DAYS and being my first pregnancy I was
completely oblivious to bleeding after
birth! Does it have anything to do with
how your periods were? My periods were
light and only lasted 3days does that mean
I will bleed less? I was aware of not
being able to do exercise for a couple of
weeks and a couple of weeks without sex
but oblivious to PP bleeding!! I have even
planned a little get away 7weeks after my
daughter is born ... I am devostated. Hehe
I feel stupid

Auzzi,
Don't feel stupid and don't worry so much
about it. Everyone is different. Most
people only bleed for 2 to 3 weeks. Then
you have freaks like me who are still
bleeding 9 weeks later...what great fun!
To answer your other question, bleeding
after childbirth has nothing to do with
the way your periods were. In my situation
my periods were never really heavy and I
would only bleed for 5 days. The bleeding
that I experienced after having my son was
much different. I'm not trying to scare
you, I think my situation is less common.
Try not to worry about it, you have better
things to think about now.
Congratulation and enjoy every minute with
your little one.
