Bleeding after birth?

Question

After giving birth what do you wear those pads/hospital undies for? Is it because you bleed after birth or discharge?? How long does if usually last?

Answer

Blood..I'm on week 2, they say it's normal to bleed for up to 6 weeks

Answer

I only bled for 10 days after my 1st. And then I spotted for a few days. But everyone is different and some ladies bleed for 6 weeks. After I quit bleeding I didn't have a period for 3 months. I was breast feeding for a month until my supply dried up and it still took 2 months after before AF returned! Hoping to breast feed for a year this time!

Answer

You bleed and it can last 6+weeks. I used the hosipal pads, and they were awful. Huge, but super bulky and really didn't help matters at all. This time around I decided to buy my own pads for the day, then I bought depends for the night. I rather not worry about my pad moving on me while trying to sleep and waking up to an even bigger mess.
