How long did you bleed after birth?

Question

Okay so I just had my baby on Monday, so 2 days ago. Monday was heavy heavy bleeding and it was just liquid, Tuesday it slowed down a little bit and it was just clots and some SERIOUS CRAMPING, and today it’s barely anything at all, basically just spotting with light light cramps. Am I getting lucky or is it just tricking me into thinking that it’s coming to an end? Lol. I’m just confused. With my first baby I bled for a solid 2-3 weeks and this second baby is totally different. I’m not really experiencing cramps anymore either. TIA! 💕💕💕💕

Answer

About 5-6 weeks, but it wasn’t heavy at all after the first couple of days - it was closer to spotting the whole time. I was tricked into thinking it was over a couple of times but nope, it always came back.

Answer

I bled heavily for a week and then spotted for another 2 weeks

Answer

It was between 2-3 weeks for my first. It wasn’t heavy at all after the first few days though. You may get lucky and be done with it soon, but I wouldn’t assume it’s over quite yet.

Answer

Heavy bleeding for maybe 3-4 days, then light bleeding to spotting until 3 weeks pp
