Bleeding after vaginal delivery

🍋Abby🍋

Hey,

I just delivered my first child last week, Ellis. I was told I tore inside of my vagina/ cervix (not sure where exactly). I would have thought the fresh blood (right red) would have ended by now, and I'd be passing the dark old blood.

My question for you all is what is the average time it took for any bleeding to stop/ darken after a vaginal delivery? I'm not filling a pad an hour or in a crazy excessive amount.

Thank you.
