FTM How long do you bleed after having a baby?

Question

How long do you bleed after you have a baby? & is it you’re period? Just asking cause someone told me it was you’re period & that you bleed for 6 weeks

Answer

5 weeks for my first... I have a scheduled C-section this time... I assume I will still bleed this time but wondering if it’s less... anyone had a scheduled C-section and know how long you bled after that?

Answer

5 weeks then a week later started my period

Answer

I bled for about a month, and then got my period about six months later

Answer

I’m going through this right now. Tomorrow is 2 weeks out for me and honestly, I’ve hardly been bleeding for the past few days. Just some spotting here and there. The first week was pretty rough though. We’ll see how it continues...

Answer

I'm due with baby 4 and it's been different each time. The first was the worst, I bled for about 3 months 😥. first couple of weeks mild and then lightly for the remainder of that time, but was also the first time that I got the depo provera shot. The other two babies were between 2-3 weeks. and also got the depo provera shot after each of those births, but followed up with an iud after I was healed enough. Hoping this one won't cause bleeding for too long, but same game plan, depo before I leave the hospital and then will be getting an iud placed at my 6 week check up.
